Divided #SCOTUS Lets Texas Voter ID Law Go into Effect

The U.S. Supreme Court, 6-3, has allowed Texas' new voter ID law to go into effect for next month's elections, The Huffington Post reports. In dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the law could impose "'an unconstitutional poll tax and risks denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters.'"

U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzalez Ramos found that the law was enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose, HuffPo also reports.

The majority's order was unsigned.
