In Texas Capitol Report on March 12, 2012, DOJ states that U.S. Department of Justice blocked Texas from trying to create a new law that would not allow the people of Texas to vote at election that do not have some form of photo identification such a driver's license, state-issued personal ID card, military ID, U.S. passport. According to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a state can not discrimination the rights to vote.
DOJ audience would have been any person that’s a registers voter. His audience would be people who work in offices the of stat, government officials, and people ages 18 and up.
The author mentioned the letter that Thomas E. Perez, U.S. Assistant Attorney General, who wrote a letter to Texas legistative officials and on facts of what the law would allow Texans do under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that is currently allows Texans to present a non-photo voter registration card before casting a ballot.
So there is nothing to agree or disagree on what being said but the idea of keeping the law as stated I agree with that. With the change of the law it would keep a lot of people from voting and that would not be a good idea because this is a big state and with it being said that this state would bring in major votes.
