Texas' voter ID law to go on trial in Washington

	7/9/2012 WASHINGTON (AP) - The fate of Texas' controversial new voter ID law - which requires voters to show photo identification at the polls - is set to be decided this week in a federal court in Washington. The state, arguing the law will prevent voter fraud, is seeking to persuade a three-judge panel to uphold the statute. The Justice Department and a slew of intervening groups say the law disproportionately affects minority voters, violating the federal Voting Rights Act. They will seek to have it thrown out. The case will be a test of the Voting Rights Act, passed in 1965, which was designed to protect minorities' rights to vote. The trial begins Monday. ??? Return to previous page ???
