Federal court to take another look at Texas voter ID law

Texas will get another chance to make its case for a voter ID requirement law that a panel of federal judges has previously rejected.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Wednesday that the entire court will hear Veasey vs. Abbott in an en banc hearing, which is a hearing before the full circuit court panel. There are 22 judges serving the 5th Circuit Court, with two vacancies.
