Today, it released a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140704200201/http://www.texascivilrightsproject.org/tcrp-human-rights-reports/">63-page report</a> criticizing the states' voter registration procedures, and a lack of voting registration opportunities.</p> <p>Last June, the United States Supreme Court <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140704200201/http://kut.org/post/voting-rights-act-partially-overturned-texas-implements-voter-id-law">overturned a portion of the Voting Rights Act</a>. The act was originally intended to protect voters from discrimination in voting matters, but the Supreme Court ruled that the application of the act, covering large parts of the South, was outdated.</p> <p>After the Supreme Court’s ruling, Texas instituted a voter identification law. The law requires registered voters to present a valid form of identification to vote. The Texas Civil Rights Project would like to see the voter ID law overturned, because they say it can be used to deter minority populations from voting. </p> <p></div> </div> </div> </div> <a
