Wisconsin and Texas get a lot more vote-y
Big news for both Texas and Wisconsin voters who don’t have access to special forms of ID this election.
The Supreme Court just ruled Wisconsin’s (super last-minute, super disenfranchisey) voter ID law implementation unconstitutional. So there's no special voter ID required to vote in Wisconsin again.
Even more surprising, a judge for the Southern District of Texas threw out Texas’s strict photo ID law, calling it “an unconstitutional poll tax.” So now there's no special voter ID required to vote in Texas.
Still need to register to vote? Now’s the time!
Mail in your registration TOMORROW if you live in Alaska, Mississippi, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah (by-mail, Utahans can still register in person until Monday, October 27, 2014).
