Democrats in Texas Senate challenge voter ID bill

AUSTIN – Senate Democrats on Tuesday attacked a GOP-backed voter ID bill as too harsh and said it will make it more difficult for many Texans to vote. While the Democrats had little hope of preventing approval of the measure, their criticism could resurface if the law is challenged under the federal Voting Rights Act. But sponsors of the legislation noted that the measure is patterned after an Indiana  law that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
