The Texas Attorney General’s Office said it planned to appeal a circuit appeals court ruling that weakened the state’s voter ID law to the Supreme Court next week. The announcement came in the state’s response to a court order Tuesday, instructing it to fix language in its voter education materials so that it was in line with a court-approved agreement after the appeals court ruling, which said the 2011 law was discriminatory in its effect.
“Our office still maintains the common-sense measures in the Texas voter ID law are valid and will be filing a petition this week for the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case,” the statement said.
