Texas Voter ID law tossed:

[Moral Compass]

24. Heard this on NPR on the way home

of course, Ken Paxton has the deckaref this to be absolutely outrages and he's going to appeal. Texans never seems to tire of paying for this crap. The Voter ID law was so discriminatory in its intent that it really kinda boggled the mind.

So, when they lost the first case in nothing flat they decided that they would just modify the long little bit and I hope that worked. It didn't. The new law was only slightly less discriminatory.

I often wonder how many simultaneous appeals we have that are winding their way up to the Supreme Court.

Texas doesn't have enough money to build roads that don't require a toll, educate their poor citizens, and actually provide some level of environmental oversight-- but they always have plenty of money to file these appeals and fight them to the bloody end. And then when they lose they go back to the drawing board.

What Texas will never do is admit that they were wrong and do something that is actually right. I'd say that this was the worst state government that I've ever lived under but I moved down here from Missouri so I'm kinda used to it at this point.
