Legal Motion Filed Against DOJ Witch Hunt on Texas Voter ID
Voter integrity group True the Vote has filed a motion intervening in a
Department of Justice lawsuit against the voter identification law in
Texas.
“The Holder Justice Department has made clear its litigation against
Texas will serve as a warning that other states should not pursue
election integrity measures – True the Vote stands ready to fight their
effort to dilute voters’ rights,” True the Vote President Catherine
Engelbrecht said in statement. “Over 80 percent of Americans favor laws
changing to require photo voter identification at the polls. When the
DOJ makes baseless claims to obscure the integrity of the voting
process, we will not stand idly by. If Texas is to be labeled a
political prize by the Plaintiffs and their Interveners, attacking
election integrity will not be an acceptable strategy.”
In August,
Attorney General Eric Holder issued a lawsuit to stop a strongly
supported voter identification law in Texas after the Supreme Court
struck down parts of the Voting Rights Act, which resulted in southern
states being allowed to change election laws without asking DOJ for
permission first. After issuing the lawsuit, Holder argued he would not
allow a Supreme Court decision to declare “open season” on voting
rights.
“The Plaintiff [DOJ] is attempting to obtain a remedy which this Court
does nothave the jurisdiction to grant. This Court does not have the
authority to impose statewidemandates on Texas to submit all future
state, county and local election law changes to thePlaintiff for
approval under Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act,” the motion states.
Texas Governor Rick Perry has vowed to do whatever it takes to fight DOJ on this issue.
