Answer the following reflection question from Chapter: Voting and Political Participation. It is your job to read your book and provide the details to fully answer the question. This answer must have a minimum of 250 words.
Research the passed 2011 Voter I.D. law by the Texas Legislature. Tell me what IDs Texas required voters to show to the polls after this law was passed. You must mention the U.S Fifth Circuit Federal Appeals court decision in July 2016, and how Texas changed the 2011 law due to the ruling. After your research of the law, give me your position for or against the measure.
Take into account what the appeals court said about Texas's voter ID law because the initial 2011 law had to be changed for this reason. Tell me how you came to your decision. Look for credible newspapers and sources for this. Your best bet will be major newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. There are others, but make sure it's a credible and widely used source.
