DailyCaller: The Department of Justice will withdraw from a legal challenge to Texas’ voter ID law, after the state legislature enacted several legislative fixes to the law to assuage the Department’s concerns.
Reuters reports that the Department filed a motion informing the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas that it would withdraw from a challenge to the law because the state’s new amendment to the statute “removes any ‘discriminatory effect’ or intent the Court found … and advances Texas’s legitimate ‘policy objectives’ in adopting a voter ID law.” The amendment Texas adopted eased some of the law’s photo identification requirements.

Good. As hard as it has been waiting on Sessions’ DoJ to act on stuff, I am convinced it’s because he cares about whether or not their work, unlike those cretins whose place he took, is struck down by the Supremes. It would be a big blow to other states if TX’s I.D. law was tied up in courts.
This stops the touted Blue-ing of Texas in its tracks.
Once the voter database is checked and purged, this will eliminate anywhere from 500k to (I expect) 1 million+ Dem votes nationally.
This is YUGE.
And now other States can adopt similar laws with TX as the template.
And no Leftist DoJ to interfere.
Winning. MAGA.
If you can stand in line to VOTE for more welfare,
you can stand in line to get a FREE I.D. at the DMV.
Are they free in TX? I think they were 10 bucks in WA. Years ago.
Make a state I’D mandatory and FREE on every state, territory and DC. Drivers’ licenses can still be charged for, but if the I’D is free, there’s no excuse to not vote!!!
You know what really pisses me off?
Illegals can register to vote at the CA DMV.
Amazing how hard it is and how long it takes to do something that makes perfect sense and should be required everywhere.
No, the voter just has to sign a piece of paper if they do not have photo ID.
Not real progress. Sad.
