Pretty good election night story -

Got to the rec center to vote Tuesday evening. To my surprise the voting booths weren't in the small kitchen area as usual. They moved them into large gym so the anticipated crowd could be handled better. While walking through the doors to the gym, everyone was exposed to an officially printed poster board announcing that the photo ID law wouldn't be in effect this year but will begin in 2016.

Signed in and began to stand in the longish line. Didn't bring much to do since I really didn't expect to wait. Began reading the walls. At both ends of the court were large metal signs pointing out the rules. Number one rule - PHOTO ID REQUIRED to play frickin' BASKETBALL. I laughed through the entire half-hour wait.

That would be a great story with photographs. Any chance of any?

All we need is picture of the notice and one of the signs.

~~~William Barber said Tillis’ “narrow victory” was a repudiation of his policies, not a validation of them.~~~

Liberal logic.

I smell the NAAL(iberal)CP, a whole dedicated arm of the Democrat Party.

The signs were up during the primary also.

Waiting for 2016 when somebody goes “Nobody told me!”

Pfft. What a load.

Tillis may have been helped by the lack of ILLEGALS voting, but he won because Kay Hagan was a total Obama sycophant who voted with Obama almost all the time.

The NAACP planned to send letters to Tillis and Gov. Pat McCrory later in the day, asking them for a sit-down meeting to discuss backing off "extremist policies" and becoming more inclusive in their governing.

Right out of the 30-year-old playbook. Yes you won but you still have to kowtow to us, because, um, you're white and we're black, yeah that's it.

We all know how you want the "discussion" to go, and you can go pound sand. Your 15 minutes are up and most of your putative constituency knows it.

Tim Scott, Mia Love, Condy Rice, Justice Thomas, Allen West, Ben Carson and hundreds of others who know which policies truly lift people out of poverty and bring all races together as Americans first.
The racist NAACP should be marginalized. Republicans should quit attending their conventions or even replying to their mail.

*******

Yep appears the voters ‘repudiating’ them just enough to get him elected.

And in other news, the other Carolina took the “acting” tag off Tim Scott and re-elected Nikki Haley, because racist.

Putting his own spin on the election results that saw gains for conservative candidates throughout much of the nation, state NAACP President Rev. William Barber said Tillis' "narrow victory" was a repudiation of his policies, not a validation of them.

Dear Lord, THANK YOU for taking me out of North Carolina! The prog Yankees and the race baiters have about taken it over, and will soil it just like they've already soiled their own nests.

NAACP exists for one purpose, to reinforce group think consensus and enemy stereotypes and threaten those who think or act counter to group consensus.

This is their charter, rendering all other consideration of why they exist or say what they say or do what they do mute.

Ridicule them. Laugh at them. Call them out for what they are. 100% Concentrated No Sugar Added Racists.

In North Carolina, the requirement that voters show an ID won't go into effect until 2016, assuming it survives court challenges. Senator-elect Tillis (doesn't that sound good?) defeated Senator Hagan by 48,501 votes according to the last tally I saw. So this year, at least, the "voter supression" meme is a FAIL.

And even when/if the Voter ID requirement becomes effective, it seems to me that the allegation that it will curtail the voting of people of color is racist, pure and simple. Is Rev. Barber suggesting that minority citizens are so feckless, so stupid, so lazy that they can't obtain any of many IDs which are available with little or no expense or effort?

Here's the dirty little secret, rarely acknowledged: there are some people who don't want to have an ID. Maybe they've violated parole, or are trying to evade the IRS, or child support, or some other infraction. Let them stay underground, including not voting. Works for me.
