Congressman, others file suit against state voter ID law
American-Statesman Staff
Led by an African-American congressman from Fort Worth, a group of
minority plaintiffs from around the state filed a lawsuit Wednesday in
South Texas to block the state's revived voter identification law.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey and other plaintiffs — including one
Texan with no photo identification — alleged that Texas' controversial
voter ID law, one of the strictest in the nation, would discriminate
against minorities. The plaintiffs are hoping a federal judge in
Corpus Christi will issue an order halting the law from being
implemented as scheduled.
