Monday, 8 September 2014, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - The New York Times entire editorial board yesterday in an editorial with link below expressed its clear disgust with Texas corrupt GOP politicians' last-ditch attempt to prevent voting by an estimated 1.2 million Texas mostly lower-income, black and Latino voters whose interests these self-serving Republican enemies of democracy clearly never have nor will even purport to represent especially once they finally are extricated from office and patronage appointments whether imminently via the ballot box or when they finally are convicted of corruption in public office with the loss of long-time blanket protection from answering to public justice by lame-duck federally indicted Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry.
The Times editorial details the passage by Texas' Republican-dominated legislature of a voter ID law which the Times characterized as justified by the "phony" claimed (non-existent) problem of voter fraud in Texas with the law's real purpose being to impose requirements on voting known to Republicans to disproportionately deprive legitimate Texas lower-income, black and Latino voters whom they know best would not be voting for them of their day at the ballot box. The law which was passed within hours after a United States Supreme Court (since admittedly) misguided ruling that invalidated portions of the Voting Rights Act which previously prevented Texas Republicans from passing just such laws due to the State's well-documented history of acting wrongfully to deprive legitimate voters of their right to vote long intended to keep bought and paid for Republicans in supposedly "publicly" elected office despite their clear lack of majority popular support among the eligible voting population of the State of Texas whose interests they in no way represented.
As also detailed below the Texas sham "voter ID" law which among other things noted would allow for example concealed weapon permit but not student ID holders to vote passed in the absence of Republican lawmakers' ability to use such long-favored means as a poll tax to keep eligible voters from the ballot box is currently under challenge by a federal lawsuit filed by the United States Department of Justice along with various other supporters of protecting voting rights for all eligible to vote.
