Federal judge orders Texas to drop voter ID law immediately

A federal judge is ordering Texas to immediately drop its voter ID law after she found it unconstitutional.

In a court filing Saturday, U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzalez Ramos of Corpus Christi issued a permanent and final injunction against the law, one of the toughest of its kind in the country.

A day earlier, the state had asked for clarification about whether law would be in place for the upcoming elections in November.

Gonzalez Ramos last week ruled the law was illegal, equating it to a “poll tax” that unfairly targets minority voters.

The problem is that the precinct leadership in the minority precincts are all for voter fraud. If they are not forced to comply with voter ID laws then they won’t notice when the same people show up to vote dozen times using the different names.

Not reading your article, I know the ‘agreement’; however we now have TrueTheVote, Judicial Watch, King Street Patriots, and had photo VoterID until Julian Castro sent this latina bombshell (endorsed by Cornyn) to un-do everything the above have gained regarding vote fraud.

We’re under attack.

I don’t know what the solution is to this Molotov Cocktail thrown at our electoral process.

The civilized, Euro-descent, 3rd-gen Texan in me says make no mistakes the left can capitalize on and just get through the election (which isn’t going to favor many RATS in TX, anyway) but the Sicilian drops of blood are urging a very different approach.

That’s why I’m now impatiently waiting on word about overturning this. Been three days, time for some talk.

Texas should ignore the court.

Will anyone have the bravery to stop this from happening

voters have the power...the idiots who apparently favor these things cast votes, those of us who oppose them sometimes don't vote because there might be a "rino" on the ticket......you many times get what you didn't vote against (Obama)...

If a judge can overthrow the law with no legal basis, then the judge is an outlaw.

there are other US District Judges in Texas.
Can’t they go to another Judge, let’s say, one appointed by GWB and get a different decision ?
