The U.S. Supreme Court has denied an emergency request by Project Vote affiliate Voting for America to block several election integrity measures enacted by the Texas legislature in 2011 to prevent voter registration fraud. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said the ruling is “a victory for voter integrity and helps Texas prevent fraud in the voter-registration process.” Abbott’s statement: “The partisan groups that challenged these laws were founded by and affiliated with ACORN – an organization that was notorious for voter-registration fraud. With this ruling, the court rejected these ACORN affiliates’ attempts to circumvent election integrity laws and helped ensure that Texans can have confidence in the integrity of their elections.”
