Texas and Wisconsin officials were barred from enforcing laws requiring
voters to produce a government-issued photo identification before casting
ballots.
.
The U.S. Justice Department yesterday told Texas officials the state
failed to show that the statute signed into law by Governor Rick Perry
last year wont have a discriminatory effect on Latino voters while a
Wisconsin state court judge held that an ID law enacted by fellow
Republican Governor Scott Walker last year, unconstitutionally burdens the
rights of eligible citizens.
.
The measures had been adopted to combat potential voter fraud.
.
Voter fraud is no more poisonous to our democracy than voter suppression,
Dane County, Wisconsin Circuit Judge Richard Niess said in his ruling
yesterday barring enforcement of that states law. Indeed they are two
heads on the same monster.
.
Signed by Walker in May, Wisconsins statute required voters to present
government-issued photographic proof of identity such as a drivers
license, U.S. passport or an armed forces or college ID.
.
Under the Texas law signed by Perry in the same month, voters arriving at
the polls without one of seven acceptable forms of photo IDs issued by the
state or federal government, including concealed carry handgun permits,
would be given a provisional ballot, according to the Texas Secretary of
States website.
.
Approved ID
.
Those ballots would count only if voters bring an approved ID to the
registrars office within six days of the election. The law exempts mail-in
ballots and voters with significant disabilities or religious objections
to being photographed.
.
Both states statutes were challenged on grounds they disproportionately
affected poor and minority voters.
