The changes come as judges across the country are blocking several GOP-controlled states from imposing stricter election rules this November. North Carolina was found last week to have not only discriminated against minorities but to have also passed tougher election rules with the intent on doing so. More than 30 states have some form of voter-ID rules. Other states also have had election rules sidelined for the coming election. Texas agreed Wednesday to weaken its voter-ID law, which federal courts have said discriminated against minorities and the poor and left more than 600,000 registered voters potentially unable to cast a ballot.
