"They found what many of us already knew ... Texas' restrictive photo voter ID law discriminates against minority voters," Rep. Marc Veasey, one of the plaintiffs, said Wednesday.

NEW ORLEANS, July 20 (UPI) -- With less than 16 weeks to go until November's general election, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that the state of Texas needs to fix its strict voter identification law because it unlawfully discriminates against minorities.

The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in its ruling Wednesday that the Texas law, passed in 2011 and enacted in 2013, does not treat all residents in an equal fashion in mandating they furnish one of a number of acceptable forms of I.D. to register to vote.

The problem, opponents and a lower court have concluded, is that it's difficult or impossible for more than 600,000 Texas residents, disproportionately minority, to obtain one of those forms of ID to vote.

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.
