Supreme Court Rejects Appeal to Overturn Texas Voter ID Law
I got this in the mail today. The rule of law and the integrity of our voting system were upheld…at least here in Texas!
Last night the U.S. Supreme Court denied Project Vote’s emergency request to block Texas from enforcing election integrity laws that were enacted to prevent voter-registration fraud. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott released the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s denial of Project Vote’s appeal:
“The Supreme Court’s rejection of Project Vote’s appeal is a victory for voter integrity and helps Texas prevent fraud in the voter-registration process. The partisan groups that challenged these laws were founded by and affiliated with ACORN – an organization that was notorious for voter-registration fraud. With this ruling, the court rejected these ACORN affiliates’ attempts to circumvent election integrity laws and helped ensure that Texans can have confidence in the integrity of their elections.”
Background:
- On September 6, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a ruling staying the preliminary injunction issued by the lower court against the state’s third-party voter-registration laws.
- On September 14, Project Vote filed an emergency appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court asking the high court to vacate the circuit court’s stay.
- On September 25, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Project Vote’s emergency appeal.

Military voters have been caught up in the Republican’s efforts at voter suppression but the GOP is willing to sacrifice military votes if it means making it harder for the poor, seniors, and minorities to vote. My fellow veterans should be absolutely angry about this and we need to teach the GOP a good lesson.

Say the person not saying a word about the Obama administration’s Justice Department refusal to prosecute and hold accountable states that fail to enforce the Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act. I think the lesson being taught in November will be given BY conservatives TO liberals.

Jay, don’t your know the lib games by know? This is a smoke screen to imply GOP hates poor old minorities.
They are always doing something like that but you really have to watch the other hand to see what’s really going on here.
