The Texas Democratic Party’s lawyer, Chad Dunne, would hunt the devil with a stick and give the devil three whacks headstart.

He won another one.

Texas’ voter identification law violates the Voting Rights Act, a federal appeals panel ruled Wednesday, tossing a controversial law enacted by the state’s Republican majority in 2011.

 
In a 3-0 decision, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the law, touted as one of the toughest voter ID measures in the country, does not amount to a poll tax but it does have a discriminatory effect that infringes on Section 2 of the landmark civil rights law.

The State of Texas will appeal to the Supremes.  I suspect, however, that we won’t be hearing much about it from our attorney general because he kinda has his hands full right now.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
