The U.S. Supreme Court early Saturday denied a last-ditch effort to block the enforcement of Texas' controversial voter ID law in the upcoming elections.
The ruling comes two days before the start of early voting. Election Day is Nov. 4.
Six of the nine justices agreed to deny a request to vacate Tuesdays judgment from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the state could enforce the law. The opinion removes the last traces of uncertainty over whether the law which supporters say prevents voter fraud would be in effect for the start of early voting.

The Texas law provides a road map for the other 57 states in Obama’s Empire to pass a voter ID law that will hold up in court.

The Texas voter ID law follows the following senario.
snip
Texas enacted in 2011 a strict photo voter ID law, replacing its existing non-strict,
non-photo ID law. It was implemented in 2013. On Oct. 9, 2014 a federal judge struck
it down; on Oct. 14, a federal appeals court re-instated the law on the basis that it
was too close to the general election to change the rules. On Oct. 18, the U.S. Supreme
Court affirmed that the law can be in effect for the November 2014 election. In
2015, a federal appeals court ruled that it cannot be enforced, sending it back to
the lower court. It is uncertain whether the law remains in effect, or whether an
earlier non-strict, non-photo law in place.

Asking voters for ID cards is constitutionally legal as we see.

A few things have happened between the posted article date of 10-18-2014 and your posting of it on 10-21-2015...
Well Texas has a ruling and Indiana has one. So I bet each state follows the ruling as
applicable to the case orginating from their state. At some point a universial
ruling applying to all states maybe forthcoming.
This article is from October, 2014.
The basic rule here is they still can require ID to vote in all 50 states.
The big problem is the Democrats running the polling stations and handing out the ballots
I never did see a problem of showing an ID to vote. I guess some do for various reasons.
The left keeps on trying like a broken record.

I think the republican led staes should regard it as such.
Why would they deny another state the right to enforce its voter id laws that are most likely less strict than Texas’?
The women. Thats who.
They will go after texas regardless. They will not stop even if they are brought into court again.
Basically it is correct. Allowing the circuit court ruling to stand means they do not have a problem with it.
Bumpitty bump bump!
You're absolutely right, they will not give up as long as this corrupt administration or any other administration like it is in power.
Hard to see how anyone could find fault with voter ID if the object of the whole thing is “one person,one vote”. Anyone seeking something different raises a red flag in my book.
Thanks. Was fooled.
