(Corpus Christi, TX) The U.S. Justice Department says the state of Texas is misleading minority voters with its court-ordered education program, so a federal judge in Corpus Christi will hold a hearing today to get the facts.
Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office is ordered to explain why the state is re-educating voters on the original Voter ID law, struck down by a federal appeals court as unduly restrictive and discriminatory.
The court-ordered education programs, before the November elections, were supposed to be used to encourage voters without IDs to cast ballots November 8th and to tell them how they could do that.
Civil rights attorneys and Justice Department officials say Texas is violating court orders by only confusing and discouraging potential voters.
