The ruling states that the voter id law has a discriminatory effect, but doesn't intentionally discriminate. I call bullshit on that convoluted ruling.
It seems like the 5th Circus is going to have a lower court rule on letting people vote who can't get picture ID without jumping through massive hoops, such as signing an affidavit.

Here is the link to the opinion which is over 200 pages with dissents and a concurrence https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2995942-Voter-ID-Opinion-5th-Circuit-July.html I just scanned the remedy section and a couple of paragraphs of the dissents. I want to bottle the tears of Edith Jones and Priscilla Owen reflected in these dissents
