Here. Sounds like Texas is going to go after Section 5 as unconstitutional, unless the Voting Section preclears Texas voter ID, quick: “If the Department of Justice approves the law, the state will dismiss its lawsuit,” the statement said.
Alabama has already filed suit claiming that the preclearance requirement under the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional, and Abbott asked the court to consider that possibility in this case. In the statement announcing the lawsuit, he said his goal is to have either the Justice Department or the court allow the immediate enforcement of the new law.
