HOUSTON — Fresh off her victory in Nevada, Hillary Clinton told a Texas crowd late Saturday that she wants to take on the state’s law requiring photo ID to vote.

“Here in Texas and in state after state, [Republicans are] doing everything they can to stop black people, Latinos, poor people, young people and people with disabilities from voting,” Clinton said. “It is a blast from the Jim Crow past.”

Clinton spoke to a crowd of about 2,000 people in a gymnasium at Texas Southern University, a historically black university in Houston. She touched on many racial disparity issues, like poverty and poor water quality in Flint, Mich.

“Let’s imagine together a world where no child grows up in the shadow of discrimination or the specter of deportation,” Clinton said.
