DOJ Asks Federal Judge to Allow Texas Voter ID Law to Stand

The Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to stop any further action against Texas voter ID law.
DOJ officials say a plan enacted last month by a republican controlled legislature fixes parts of the law considered discriminatory against African Americans and Latinos.
Texas original 2011 voter ID law also faced a number of legal challenges.
Judges repeatedly found it discriminated against minority and elderly voters.
The Trump administration dropped an Obama-era argument that Texas lawmakers had enacted the law with a discriminatory intent.
