Asserts the legal commentator and member of black conservative group Project 21: "A three judge federal panel announced its ruling temporarily denying Texas the right to require Voter ID at polls in the upcoming November elections. The U.S. Justice Department had blocked the Texas law in March, citing the Voting Rights Act. Texas then sued the Justice Department, sending the case to federal court in Washington, DC. 'If this ruling stands, more Americans – particularly those who are minorities or poor – will be subject to having their votes stolen in the state of Texas this fall,' said National Center [for Public Policy Research] Adjunct Fellow Horace Cooper."
More commentary from Mr. Cooper: "'Voter fraud is real and voter ID laws are an effective legal tool use to combat this fraud,' Cooper explains. 'Instead of trying to prevent the voter fraud that thwarts the aspirations of the poor and other racial minorities, senior members of the Justice Department and advisors in the White House have hindered or delayed efforts by states to protect voters. This policy is shameful,' complains Cooper."
