The Justice Department has rejected South Carolina’s voter identification law for the second time, saying the state has been unable to show the ID requirement isn’t discriminatory, the Associated Press reports.
Feds blocked the state’s photo ID requirement in December, saying it would prevent tens of thousands of minorities from voting.
State officials said the law is intended to prevent voter fraud.
Justice Department officials disagreed, saying the requirement violates the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
