U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder wants to postpone the trial over Texas’ Voter ID law, currently set to begin July 9 before a 3-judge panel of the U.S. District Court in DC, the Houston Chronicle reports: Federal lawyers complained Texas had demanded a speedy trial in order to resolve the issue in time for the Nov. 6 general election. . . The U.S. attorney general’s office had agreed to a July 9 trial date in order to resolve the issue before November. But in court documents filed late Monday, lawyers in the Voting Section of the U.S. attorney general’s office complained Texas has filed repeated motions to limit the evidence that can be used in the trial, thus delaying action. Attorneys for the federal government and civil rights groups say they now need more time because Texas continues to try to block requests for evidence, wrote Elizabeth Westfall, an attorney in the civil rights division of the Justice Department. The same Elizabeth Westfall who has a history of opposing common-sense election integrity reforms like Voter ID while working for the left-leaning Advancement Project as a Senior Attorney and Director of AP’s ‘Voter Protection Program’.
