Attorney General Sessions' Assault on Voting Rights Continues in Texas

Attorney General Sessions is withdrawing the Department of Justice's view that Texas' voter ID law is discriminatory just ahead of an important hearing in a federal case challenging the Texas law. The Justice Department has held the position for 6 years that Texas' voter ID law discriminates against both black and Hispanic voters.

Plaintiffs tell me DOJ plans to withdraw its position that Texas' ID law is intentionally discriminatory. /1

It comes as no surprise that Trump's and Sessions' DOJ will side with state Republicans in their nationwide effort to restrict voters' access to the ballot box.
