Hagan Asks US Attorney General To Examine NC's Voter ID Law

5. Agreed but the DOJ has a better case right now in Texas

The Texas voter is law is being enforced right now in an election in South Texas. There are statewide elections on constitutional amendments and a City of Houston mayor's race in November. The DOJ has the benefit of some good language from the DC circuit on the Texas voter id law and needed to move right now on that law. I have no doubt that the North Carolina law will be challenged by the DOJ but right now the Texas law is already stealing the vote from voters.

The provisions of the North Carolina law other than the voter id provisions require proof of intentional discrimination by the GOP which is hard to do. In Texas, we have an idiot Attorney General who has admitted that the purpose of the Texas redistricting and the Texas voter id law was to punish Democrats. These statements go a long way to proving intentional discrimination.
