The Texas Tribune: Texas Appeals Voter ID Rulings to U.S. Supreme Court
“I think it’s just them taking another pile of taxpayer money and setting it on fire.”
— Gerry Hebert, executive director of the Campaign Legal Center and an attorney for the plaintiffs in voter ID case
Gerry Hebert, executive director of the Campaign Legal Center and an attorney for the plaintiffs, said he did not expect the justices to accept the case, and he called the 5th Circuit's decision "comprehensive."
"It’s really more of a political move to satisfy the right wing of the Republican Party," he said. “I think it’s just them taking another pile of taxpayer money and setting it on fire.”
