Dallas County Joins Marc Veasey in Fight Against Voter ID Law

August 20, 2013

The Voter ID battle is heating up, and now, it appears that Dallas County is jumping into the fray.

In June, we reported that Congressman Marc Veasey filed a lawsuit in federal district court to stop Texas' Voter ID law from going into effect. Texas had passed an onerous Voter ID law during the 2011 legislative session. Efforts to stop the law had been successful as the law could not be precleared under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
