Supreme Court denies North Carolina appeal to enforce its voter ID rules
MSN ^ | August 31, 2016

So all a voter needs is a signature compared by the poll worker to signature on file in voter roll book? Is that how NC does it? You do not always read about the actual process.

When is one Governor or state AG going to tell the Feds to piss up a rope. States created Fedzilla not the other way around.

The outcome also may give a slight boost to Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, who will need strong support from minority dead voters to prevail in November.

An excellent question.

States created Fedzilla not the other way around.

This is very important, too bad it's essentially glossed over to make it obscure and pretend its irrelevance. (Much like what the legal profession has done with both presentments and jury nullification.)

So, why do we even bother with governors, state legislatures, or, for that matter, elections?

Clearly, it doesn't matter what is supported by the voters and passed into law if Sotomayor & co. Disagree with it.

I lived in Craven County for 12 years, same process. The poll worker would ask your name and your street address, that was it!

Black-robed Marxists don’t have the constitutional power to strike down laws, create laws or modify laws. Period. Only legislatures can write, modify or nullify laws.

I was then and I always will be very suspicious that no autopsy was performed on Justice Scalia.

I had never heard of a coroner determining cause of death over the phone, sight unseen.
