Breitbart has the story on the assist from AP to the DOJ in the Texas Voter ID trial.
“In version 2.0, Jackson disguises the absurd reason Rodriguez can’t get photo ID. Originally, it was because “her parents were too busy to take her.” In the DOJ-friendly revision, Jackson says she has no “ability to travel.” The ridiculous has become the sympathetic.”

Senator John Cornyn on “Poll Tax”: For Shame
“By invoking the specter of Jim Crow racism, the attorney general is playing the lowest form of identity politics,” Cornyn said on the Senate floor. “Mr. Holder knows better. This rhetoric is irresponsible and a disgrace to the office of the attorney general. Shame on him.”

Report from Texas Voter ID Trial: “bizarre radical professor”
Breitbart.com covers the Texas Voter ID trial here.
“The last mistake proved to be quite embarrassing to DOJ on the first day of trial. Two of the individuals listed by the Justice Department and its collection of “experts” as not having a photo ID included Texas Election Director Keith Ingram and his wife, both of whom have Texas driver’s licenses, as Ingram testified on the stand. DOJ and Ansolabehere also made other mistakes that led Sager to conclude that more than 1.45 million voters were incorrectly listed by DOJ as not having an ID.”

9th Circuit Disagrees With Holder that VoterID = Poll Tax
“Proposition 200’s polling place provision is not a poll tax under Harman. Requiring voters to show identification at the polls does not constitute a tax. Nor does the identification requirement place a material burden on a voter “solely because of his refusal to waive [his] constitutional immunity” to a poll tax, id.; rather, under Proposition 200, all voters are required to present identification at the polls. Because Arizona’s
system does not, as a matter of law, qualify as a poll tax, we affirm the district court’s conclusion that Proposition 200’s polling place provision does not violate the Twentyfourth Amendment.” Full opinion here, quote from page 43-44.
When you adopt a position more extreme than the 9th Circuit, you are really out on the fringes.
