Texas’ voter identification law violates the U.S. law prohibiting racial discrimination in elections, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed previous rulings that the 2011 voter ID law — which stipulates the types of photo identification election officials can and cannot accept at the polls — does not comply with the Voting Rights Act.
The full court's ruling delivered the strongest blow yet to what is widely viewed as the nation’s strictest voter ID law.

The court didn't say ID to vote is unconstitutional. They said the TX list of acceptable photo ID was too short.


Texas is among nine states categorized as requiring "strict photo ID (http://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/voter-id.aspx)," and its list of acceptable forms is the shortest.
