Texas AG Abbott Rips Holder, Obama for Stoking ‘Racial Divides’ by Fighting the State’s Voter ID Law

“As you know, it was just last month the United States Supreme Court said that we no longer have to play ‘mother, may I’ with the United States Department of Justice whenever we try to have new voting type legislation,” Abbott said, noting that “the Obama administration is trying to deny Texas voter integrity” by fighting Texas’ 2011 law, “despite the fact that in a separate case, the United States Supreme Court has already said that voter ID laws are perfectly constitutional.” Abbott said that the Obama administration is “trying to sow racial divide as opposed to unity. And they’re using the legal system as sword to wage political attacks rather than as a shield to protect against wrongdoing.”
