Voter registration raises it's head again in Texas! Again the First Amendment is violated to prohibit voters from voting.

This is great news.... for ACORN, convicted felons, illegal immigrants, and dead people. They will all continue to be able to influence the voting results, thus disenfranchising legitimate voters. Love those unaccountable, activist judges. They enjoy legislating from the bench.
Expect the United States to become more and more like Venezuela, as the president continues to run over the constituion and the DOJ continues its selective enforcement of laws, all to the advantage of the ruling regime.
Expect all kinds of Al Franken "tricks" this November.
