A federal appeals court has restored Texas’ controversial voter ID law just days after it was struck down. A federal judge overturned the law last week, calling it an “unconstitutional poll tax” that discriminates against voters of color. But on Tuesday, a three-judge panel said Texas can enforce the ID law in the November election, because dropping it would cause confusion. The panel did not rule on whether the law should permanently stand.
