From the Houston Chronicle: A federal judge in Galveston on Thursday partially blocked new Texas
registration laws that critics say amount to vote suppression because
they prevent large voter registration drives.
U.S. District Judge Gregg Costa blocked the state from enforcing five provisions of the laws that its defenders say are aimed at preventing voter fraud.
"Today's
ruling means that community groups and organizations like Voting for
America and Project Vote will be able to run community voter
registration drives in Texas," plaintiff's attorney Chad Dunn
said. "These drives are important to reaching the millions of Texans,
including three-quarters of a million African-Americans and 2 million
Latinos, who are eligible but still not registered to vote."
Dunn
represents two Galveston County residents and the nonprofit voter
registration group Voting for America, an affiliate of the nonpartisan
Project Vote based in Washington, D.C.
"They don't care how you vote as long as you get registered and participate," Dunn said.

The plaintiff's judge shopped shopped for a liberal federal judge in Texas and found an Obama appointed judge to do their bidding. What a shock.
