What's at Stake in Veasey v. Abbott

In 2011, the Texas legislature enacted Senate Bill 14, the nation’s strictest voter photo ID law that leaves more than half a million eligible voters who do not have the requisite types of ID from fully participating in the democratic process. Veasey v. Abbott is a challenge to this law, which disproportionately disenfrachises minority voters, paritcularly African Americans and Latinos.
