North Carolina judges strike down state’s voter ID law​

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina judges struck down the state’s latest photo voter identification law on Friday, agreeing with minority voters that Republicans rammed through rules tainted by racial bias as a way to remain in power.

Two of the three trial judges declared the December 2018 law is unconstitutional, even though it was designed to implement a photo voter ID mandate added to the North Carolina Constitution in a referendum just weeks earlier. They said the law was rushed and intentionally discriminates against Black voters, violating their equal protections.

The law “was motivated at least in part by an unconstitutional intent to target African American voters,” Superior Court Judges Michael O’Foghludha and Vince Rozier wrote in their 102-page order.

“Other, less restrictive voter ID laws would have sufficed to achieve the legitimate nonracial purposes of implementing the constitutional amendment requiring voter ID, deterring fraud, or enhancing voter confidence,” the judges added.

So, if voter ID is racist, why isn't requiring an ID to buy a gun ?


I *really* want someone to bring that lawsuit and cite one of these voter ID laws as precedent.

Even if all it accomplishes is to get a prosecutor to make the claim that the 2A is a lesser right than voting, that would be a great thing to bring before SCOTUS.

Vaccine passports are racist too

How do these judges know it was passed with racial bias?

Ok, so now you don't need photo ID to vote. Maybe make an EBT card acceptable!

I hope some day we start waking up to news of these types of judges disappearing without a trace.

I'm sorry. But if you actually believe that black people are too stupid to have ID, or obtain ID then YOU are the racist bigot.

I heard there is a push to have illegals vote in the Clarkstown school board elections. It's a complicated situation there but a bad precedent IMO.

There’s a push to have them vote in the nation elections. It’s illegal but they are still pushing for it. I feel they will pack the Supreme Court and say the constitution says we the people not we the citizen and it will then become legal for anyone with a USA address to vote.
