The Department of Justice blocked the implementation of Texas’ voter ID law just days after seven individuals were indicted by grand jury for illegally voting in Texas. The DOJ has combatted the voter ID laws of many states’ by attempting to discredit the presence of fraud and raising claims of disenfranchisement. However, vote fraud is a real and prevalent problem (See RNLA’s Vote Fraud Map here), and states’ already enforcing voter ID laws have shown no indication of voter suppression or disenfranchisement. (See RNLA’s previous post on this here.) The DOJ ignores vote fraud, even when someone pretended to be Attorney General Eric Holder and was given his voting ballot (DC has no voter ID law).
