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.

to me
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.


“U.S. appeals court says Texas should not pay legal fees in voting case”


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).
