Memphis Sues Tennessee over Voter ID

Memphis sued Tennessee, claiming the state's 2011 Photo ID Act will disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters.

Memphis, joined by two citizen-plaintiffs, claims Tennessee arbitrarily disqualifies voters who use public library cards and other valid government-issued IDs for voter identification.

The plaintiffs say Tennessee never showed any evidence of the sort of voter fraud it claimed the legislation was written to prevent.
