Texas voter ID law set aside, yet "ID required" signs all around our early voting place [View all]

Last edited Sun Oct 28, 2012, 03:43 PM - Edit history (1)

I called the Justice Department's number (which was posted) I told them the situation, they said they would have to call me back.

They never did.

That was Monday.

UPDATE: Local attornies called the courthouse and raised hell. The part of the vote here sings that said id required are now coered with tape.
