In a recent case, the Supreme Court allowed Texas to enforce its strict voter identification law in the November election.
The law, enacted in 2011, requires voters seeking to cast their ballots at the polls to present photo identification like a Texas driver’s or gun license, a military ID or a passport.
Critics say the law is the most exacting in the nation and would disenfranchise 600,000 registered voters, a disproportionate number of the black and Hispanic voters.
Texas officials disputed both points. They told the justices that Texas might not be the nation’s strictest law because the state accepts some forms of identification that others do not and the state makes allowances for disabled people and for older Americans.
There are two briefs amicus curiae from two groups. The first brief is from a group of religious advocates. They argue that the law has a disparate impact on a network of religious organizations prohibiting their members to use modern technology, including being photographed.
The second brief is from a radical group of racial supremacists. They argue that voter identification and voter registration requirements enable the government to track citizens’ political beliefs and limit free speech.
