The Justice Department has blocked a new law in Texas requiring voters to show a photo ID, saying that it disproportionately harms Hispanic residents.
The action is the second time in three months that the Obama administration has blocked a state voter ID law. In December, the Justice Department struck down South Carolina’s new law requiring photo identification at the polls, saying it discriminated against minority voters. [snip]
I want to see a state file an emergency appeal to the USSC to define the actual meaning of “All men are created equal” based on the critical need to have the vote issues settled prior to the election. Either a Black man/white man/hispanic man are equal or some are less than which is not Constitutional. Period.
Such would in turn address many leftist wedges.
Addition:
If a White man has access to photo ID and a hispanic man does not, then clearly the white man has an unfair advantage on the poor ID-less hispanic. This is clearly unjust and MUST be setteled IMMEADIATELY so as not to violate the constitutional rights of the poor downtrodden other that privleged white man.
or at least if the Feds are going to block States Rights it should take an Act of Congress, not the personal decisions of a peon bureaucrat
Seems like the title of this article, and all others after it, should be “Obama Administration Advocates Voter Fraud”.
This has been the Obama plan all along for re-election: increase the number of illegals registered to vote and go all-out pandering to them. Tipping point has arrived.

How does it “harm” hispanics to show an I.D., you vile POS race monger Holder?
Congress passed a 25-year extension of the voting rights act, signed into law by George W. Bush in 2006. That means, unless repealed, this monstrosity will be around until 2031, and radical jackwagons like Eric Holder can set aside redistricting plans, voter ID requirements, and just about anything else they want to by declaring it might dilute minority rights.
Not to worry, though—by 2030 whites may be a minority and then could have 1 year to claim discrimnation under the law before congress would let it expire as no longer needed.
You’re not suggesting that Holder is racist, are you? Oh, the shock of it all....
This makes no sense since the courts have already upheld the other states with voter ID laws.

A court case if it can get there may be decided differently but his is an edict by the Justice Dept under the VRA authority.
Stall and disrupt/PR...nothing more.
You already have to show id to do everything. I just had to show id to buy a video game yesterday, and I look most of my 40+ years old.
Sorry Obama. Ain’t no amount of voter fraud in the world gonna win you Texas...
Just look at the voter fraud case in upstate New York. They were targeting the disabled, immigrants, and the poor.
Joe died at 48 years old in 1957, that was just 2 years after Edward R. Murrow assassinated Joe’s career and person. That put an end to shining a spotlight on the infiltration of the communists.
He was best friends with Joe and John Kennedy. Both were very anti-communist. Five years after Tail Gunner Joe died of liver failure, JFK was assassinated. I think that was the event that marked the end of the Democratic party as a legitimate constitutionally based party.
Shortly thereafter LBJ took their first step toward socialism and communism with his “Great Society” or “Great Socialism Plan”.
Another example of concern about GW’s intelligence and his ability to make critical decisions. Sorry I ever voted for him as gov of Texas in the first place.
I was a huge, huge fan of his at one time but his sheer inability to pick up the veto pen shows his lack of resolve.
Maybe there needs to be men in black leather jackets holding billy clubs standing at each voting location ... Holder doesn’t seem to have a problem with that and I figure it would cut way down on the fraud.
“Whatever happened to “States’ Rights?”
States rights were permanently laid to rest in an Appomattox court house in April, 1865.
