Good news, lets hope they do the same for SC.

Court Rejects Texas Voter ID Law

A federal court in Washington on Thursday struck down a Texas law that made photo identification a requirement to voting. The three-judge panel ruled that the law statute imposes “strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor.� The ruling also noted that the law would disproportionately affect minorities, who are more likely to not possess a driver’s license or passport. The same federal courthouse will decide on a challenge to South Carolina’s new photo-ID law, which went on trial this week and a decision is expected before the November election. A similar law in Pennsylvania was recently upheld. Strict voter-ID laws have become something of a rallying cry of conservatives this election cycle.
