Found this article from National Review on the Voter ID law in NC being overturned.

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/438810/north-carolina-voter-id-law-should-be-restored

The appeal to the Supreme Court - I still don’t know what the status of that appeal might be. I will research and find out but maybe others know.

Can these poor people get a government check without ID ?
NO

The ONLY reason they want to allow them to vote without one is so they can CHEAT

The Republican party has allowed them to get away with this nonsense for far to long and it is time they started earning their paychecks by putting a stop to it.
The working people of this country are tired of being ripped off by the people we send to represent us .

I just spoke with the NC Board of Elections. The NC voter ID law will not be in force for the November elections.

Chalk NC up to more voter fraud - same old same old.

The only thing stopping Hitlery in our state will be a massive voter turnout for Trump and volunteers to do poll watching all over the state.

Gotta get moving everyone.

Cooper is a piece of crap in everything...he was none too keen on defending the marriage amendment we PASSED, either.

I hope McCrory mops the floor with him.

The US election system is at the very foundation of the strength of this country so who can argue against fair and legal elections except those who need vote fraud to win? The steps needed to ensure a fair and legal election in the US are: a photo ID for every registered voter regardless of ethnicity, for those who are disabled then a proxy voter shall be appointed, no electronic vote or vote counting machines, paper ballots to be marked in ink and inserted into double sealed envelopes only to be opened by the vote counting groups, each voter receives an inked finger after casting their vote, all ballets counted three times by three separate groups of people doing so under lock and key and then the tallies presented to declare the winner. Anything short of these measure proves the propensity of our current corrupted election system.

If the fight against requiring voter ID was truly about discrimination against the poor and minorities, the libs would have fired up yet another entitlement program providing IDs to these people. But they haven't done this. Why?

Because it's not about getting the ID-less access to voting. It's about obliterating every safeguard so anyone can go to any precinct any number of times and vote. You know ... fraud.

Of course, how else are the rats supposed to win an election if they are not allowed to use fraud?

The Republican party has allowed them to get away with this nonsense for far to long

I disagree with that. As long as we do not have the super majority in both houses we have no chance

At the very least we should do the purple finger thing

A purple finger won't work with "early voting", absentee voting, or mail-in voting (as in Oregon).

Voting fraud has become a big thing in this country. We need to have voting on one day only and use paper ballots so a recount can be done manually, if necessary. The only exceptions should be servicemen and citizens serving or working overseas who can use absentee ballots.

People should be required to register at their local Board of Elections (in person) at least once every five years and also produce a valid ID. Why not? We require people to show up at the DMV to get their drivers licenses on this same schedule. Poor people somehow manage to show up at the welfare offices regularly. They somehow manage to show up someplace to get their "free" Obama Phones. They get their kids registered in school. They manage trips to stores to get groceries, cigarettes, and liquor. Some even manage to get down to their local pusher for drugs. Why can't they show up at the local Board of Elections too?

Our system is now too open for massive fraud and cheating thanks to the Democrats and their minions who have made voter fraud a massive opportunity for their stealing elections. Allowing massive early voting and voting without a valid ID are perfect recipes for it to continue. That's partly why it is.

There is where you are wrong .
Lets take Florida for example .
We have a Republican governor and have had a Republican governor for a long time.
We have a photo ID law and must show it to vote.
To get a Drivers License in Florida you need to show your birth certificate, and any papers such a marriage license if your name was ever changed . And those papers better be originals or they won’t accept them .They are photo copied and kept on file.

It has cut down on people showing up to the polls voting for other people and voting multiple times.

We are still plagued with voter fraud that happens at places like nursing homes where people are registered to vote and someone else fills out their ballots and mails them in .

There is no reason anyone not in the military serving elsewhere should have a mail in ballot in this state .

The DNC calls people all the time asking them to vote with these mail in ballots . Why because it also encourages the people who only live here PART of the year to vote here also .

We are still plagued with out and out voter fraud in parts of the state like Palm Beach county . Why because they have not fired all the clerks that allow this to happen election year after election year.

Florida turns blue some election years for NO OTHER REASON than voter fraud .

Not only ID but do away with early voting, do away with absentee voting with the sol exception of military and dip a figure in an ink pot after voting.

I disagree with doing away with early voting. Early voting is convenient and nothing wrong with it. I have voted early since it became law here in TN many times

Those that want to commit fraud will go to several voting locations or districts to vote.

I can see doing away with the same day registration as some states allow. If you can't register 3 or 4 month before an election you just have to wait until the next election to vote.

Your idea of doing away with absentee voting is also ridiculous and proves that yo don't know what you are talking about. What if someone is going on trip, business, or otherwise that had been long planned and won't be home on election day, they shouldn't be allowed to vote early, or change their trip plan because you don't like it? How ridiculous.

I do go along with dipping the finger in an ink pot though

You must FIRST reject & reword the left’s False Premise.
The media is a constant lie of false premise. Reject every statement they say.

So no purple fingers. Instead a middle finger to the media.

The Honest Premise is the Ban on Voter ID violates the poor, disabled & minority with bigoted hatred.

Another place you need picture ID: returning items to Wal*Mart.

IMHO, Trump needs to win in November by at least 5-6 points just to negate the effect of RAT fraud. They are experts at it and I suspect they will be out fully prepared to steal the election.

Again IMHO, this election has the potential to make Bush/Gore seem like a walk in the park.
