Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today issued a revised version of her dissent in the Texas voting rights case to fix an error about one kind of ID card that voters can use to qualify to vote. In ticking off her objections, Ginsburg wrote that Texas would not even accept “photo ID cards issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs.” On Wednesday, the Justice conceded that that comment was incorrect and that kind of ID card, issued through the Court’s public information office, is an acceptable form of photo identification for voting in Texas.
