"Plaintiffs in the suit — which include minority lawmakers, minority rights groups and private citizens — have asked Ramos to create her own remedies to the voter ID law, which she has twice ruled discriminatory. Those remedies could include striking down the law. They also have asked Ramos to consider placing Texas under federal supervision for future changes to its election laws. Texas would be the first state brought back under federal supervision since a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling took Texas and other states with histories of discrimination off the list.

In their own briefing, plaintiffs remained unconvinced that Texas' changes to the law fixed its discriminatory issues.

'At its core, SB 5 maintains the same unexplained picking and choosing of 'acceptable' photo IDs for in-person voting — accepting IDs disproportionately held by Anglo voters and rejecting IDs disproportionately held by minority voters — that led the Court, in part, to its discriminatory intent finding,' plaintiffs wrote."
