    al appeals court voted 2-1 on Tuesday to allow Texas to use its voter ID law in November elections, overturning a U.S. district court judge, Politico reported.

    "The State has made a strong showing that it is likely to succeed on the merits, wrote judges Jerry Smith and Jennifer Elrod of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

    SB5, the law in question, "allows voters without qualifying photo ID to cast regular ballots by executing a declaration that they face a reasonable impediment to obtaining qualifying photo ID," the judges wrote. "This declaration is made under the penalty of perjury. The State has made a strong showing that this reasonable-impediment procedure remedies plaintiffs' alleged harm and thus forecloses plaintiffs' injunctive relief."
