VOTER ID LAW UPHELD IN TEXAS...DESPERATELY NEEDED IN ILLINOIS! (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday denied a request to block a Texas law requiring residents to show certain forms of identification before they vote, a measure that supporters say prevents voter fraud but opponents decry as discriminatory. The move, which means the requirement will be in place for the November elections, comes after a U.S. appeals court on Tuesday granted a request by the state to stay a lower court decision that struck down the law. The law, which supporters say is an important tool in staunching what they see as a growing threat of election fraud, requires voters to present photo identification such as a drivers license, passport or military ID card. reuters/article/2014/10/18/us-usa-court-texas-election-idUSKCN0I708Z20141018
