[...] the fact is that, unlike other democratic rights protected in the First Amendment, voting rights do not have clear constitutional protections. Voting is an important duty and privilege that should have protection from fraud and abuse. The Justice Department's decision to reject Texas' voter ID law is just another example of why the Voting Rights Act is obsolete. According to the feds, the South is still considered to be backward, provincial and racist, unless proven otherwise. The instances of voter fraud might be insignificant, but I fail to see how this law will put an undue burden on most people of any color.
