This is the second time voter ID passed in NC. I worked the polls, this past election, and many people showed up WITH their ID in hand, ready to vote.
The people of NC WANT voter ID. The real issue here is that the Federal government is suing US, and trying to deny us the right to vote, the right to representation.
Interesting times.
Ya got that right.
I think that NC voter ID is a good thing, long term.
Short term, I see one of two things happening.
....Either the state stays at about the 50-50 split that we've seen in the past couple of elections. This is bad, IMO, because it shows the inroads Dems have made.
...Or, the state goes back to a 55-45 (ish) split. This is also bad, because it means that my vote has been worthless for the past few elections.
