Case Summary

This case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the State of Texas on January 24, 2012, which sought judicial approval of its voter ID law. Texas was required by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to seek either U.S. Department of Justice or federal court "preclearance" of the law, prior to its implementation. The U.S. Department of Justice opposed preclearance. On August 30, 2012, a three-judge federal district court denied the necessary approval, because Texa…

This case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the State of Texas on January 24, 2012, which sought judicial approval of its voter ID law. Texas was required by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to seek either U.S. Department of Justice or federal court "preclearance" of the law, prior to its implementation. The U.S. Department of Justice opposed preclearance. On August 30, 2012, a three-judge federal district court denied the necessary approval, because Texas had not demonstrated that the law would not harm the voting opportunities of minority voters. In an opinion by Justice Tatel, the court emphasized that not every voter ID would fail under Section 5. In fact, the court stated, "voter laws might well be precleared if they ensure (1) that all prospective voters can easily obtain free photo ID, and (2) that any underlying documents required to obtain that ID are truly free of charge." In Texas, however, this was not the case: "The State of Texas enacted a voter ID law that--at least to our knowledge--is the most stringent in the country. That law will almost certainly have retrogressive effect: it imposes strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor, and racial minorities in Texas are disproportionately likely to live in poverty. And crucially, the Texas legislature defeated several amendments that could have made this a far closer case." 888 F.Supp.2d 113.

On December 17, 2012, the court entered judgment against Texas. The case was stayed until the United States Supreme Court issued a final ruling in Shelby County v. Holder. Two days later, Texas appealed the judgment to the Supreme Court.

On June 27, 2013, the Supreme Court vacated the judgment and remanded the case for further consideration in light of Shelby County v. Holder, 133 S.Ct. 2612, in which the Court had held that the Voting Rights Act's preclearance requirement was unconstitutional. Texas v. Holder, 133 S. Ct. 2886 (2013).

On remand, the three-judge District Court dismissed all claims on August 27, 2013.

Some defendant-intervenors sought award of attorney fees and costs. On August 11, 2014, the District Court (Rosemary M. Collyer) held that defendant-intervenors were not a prevailing party and were not entitled to attorney fees and costs. 63 F. Supp. 3d 54 (D.D.C. 2014).
