Texas registered a win on Monday when a federal appeal court upheld a state law required by voters to use the state law, including the state ID number or partial social security numbers.
A three-judge panel reversed the decision of the district court, saying that the law unanimously did not violate the 1964 civil rights Act, as some critics claimed, as it is material to confirm voter eligibility, as is necessary under law.
