Picture ID was required for access to the dnc circus. Something that has meaning, like an election? You better not demand photo ID’s or we’ll see you in court. That’s weird.

Perhaps the way to go is to suggest that all requirements for a photo ID...to buy booze or smokes...be rescinded. I don’t see why you even need a photo on your license at this point. Just put a stick-man character on it.

The new ID law was in effect for last fall’s election here in NC.

All the local papers had reporters running all over trying to find people trying to vote but couldn’t because of no ID. They found there was no problem - biggest problem was voters showing up at the wrong polling place because the board of elections had shifted them “again”!

Court: “Aw, that NC legislature was just being a bunch of minority-hating hicks.”

How does one get past this kind of airy fairy wonderland accusation?

If you want to look at the people who were making it hard for “minorities” to participate in civic life for decades, look at the lefties.

How can this law was unconstitutional when the United States Supreme Court has already said that photo identification at polling stations is perfectly legal and within our constitution. Didn’t the state of Texas passed a law similar to this which was upheld in the United States Supreme Court?

Also, why can’t the state of North Carolina simply pass a law quickly which would mandate just the need for photo ID which as I said above has already been okayed by the United States Supreme Court.?

Another thing... get some polling companies asking the black voters of NC what they think of the “restrictive” (race blind) provisions. Bet they would get moderate or greater support from over 50%. “Inextricable link between race and politics” sure... lefties are pushing people around for political purposes by race.

States should pass Voter ID laws literally the early Tuesday morning before the election, effective immediately....and not allow time for even an emergency judge move.

We’ve had photo ID for awhile in Alabama. So far so good. One benefit of being a “nothing” state.

The problem with this approach is that, if Trump wins by a narrow margin which includes NC, this will give the democrats a legal means to contest the election results.

This is intentional election manipulation by the liberals. They should just pass another slightly-tweaked version of the bill like 3 days before the election, so there is no time to sue over it.
