This doesn’t look to end well for Texas.  The Texas Secretary of States has provided a response to the DOJ’s “more information” request.  More information requests are one of the early signs that an objection may be forthcoming.  If Texas wants to see voter ID become law, it would be well advised to consider pulling the submission immediately and filing in United States District Court for approval by a fair and impartial federal judge.  It may well be cheaper, and if an objection is imminent as many suspect, it will also be quicker.
