A U.S. appeals court said on Tuesday the state of Texas must pay about $3 million in legal fees to plaintiffs after being on the wrong side of a civil rights lawsuit over voting.
havent seen the ruling yet
update: stop the presses! media gets facts wrong!
that was based on a reuters report which was in error.
update: they didn't just get it wrong. they got it really wrong.
They (Reuters) were wrong about Who, What, How Much, and Why. Not sure about when and where.
Anyone have details on
this? I cannot find an order at the 5th Circuit website.
UPDATE:
Here is the decision. It is section 5 Texas redistricting litigation, not the voter id litigation, as was initially erroneously reported (and it was not a $3 million award affirmed, it was a $300,000 award reversed).
