VOTER ID LAWS BLOCKED. The U.S. Department of Justice blocked a Texas voter I.D. law, arguing it would disproportionately affect the Latino vote. A state judge in Wisconsin also issued an injunction on a similar law in that state. Civil rights groups organize to oppose a plethora of such laws in states across the nation. This edition of the Hacia el Voto 2012 series also brings news and results about the primaries in Puerto Rico and Illinois.
