Then in 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court neuters the Voting Rights Act, and the federal backstop against disenfranchisement in Texas is removed. Immediately Texas implements the most restrictive voter ID laws in the country (“to prevent voter fraud”). — PolitiTweet.org

By 2014 Texas has lowest voter turnout in the U.S. Voter ID laws, racist gerrymandering (‘81, ‘03, ‘11) & more than a century of intimidation directed at black & Latino voters (all in the name of preventing voter fraud) have achieved the desired effect: massive voter suppression. — PolitiTweet.org
