[h=1]Texas Voter-Identification Law Is Blocked by Justice Department as Biased[/h]
If if ain't broke... It voter fraud is not a real issue in the larger state and national elections, then why did they attempt to modify the procedure with an added step??
When you break it down and see who is actually effected by the added step, then you realize it was the GOP tricky dicks trying to play dirty and swing the numbers in their favor by keeping potential Dems away from the polls.
When it comes to breaking and busting up our U.S. Constitution, and most sacred traditions, the GOP far out does the Dems every time...
Will one GOP candidate please stand up and do the right thing on this and say, "Look folks, Voter fraud is a crime, but it happens in such tiny small itty-bitty percentages that have NO EFFECT on the outcome... I'll say it one more time, NO EFFECT ON THE OUTCOME... Let's not waste time with more needless Government bureaucracy..." Ron Paul? Anyone?

The Obama administration blocked Texas (BEESTX)’s new law requiring voters to show government-issued photo identification at the polls, escalating a partisan dispute over voting restrictions.
The U.S. Justice Department used its power under the Voting Rights Act to halt the Texas law, saying in a letter to the state today that the measure may disproportionately harm Hispanics. The department in December blocked a similar law in South Carolina (NFSESC).
Democrats have objected to the voter ID laws as impediments to minority voting while Republicans have said they protect the integrity of elections. Republican officials in Texas, one of eight states that passed voter identification laws last year, said the administration has no valid reason to challenge the measure.
