Two (North Carolina Judges)Two North Carolina judges on Friday struck down a law that required identification to vote, alleging it “was enacted with the unconstitutional intent to discriminate against African American voters.”
[snip]Defendants, including North Carolina House Speaker Timothy Moore, failed to show that racial discrimination was not a substantial or motivating factor behind enactment of the law, Superior Court Judges Michael O’Foghludha and Vince Rozier Jr., both Democrats, wrote in (a 102-page ruling) permanently blocking the measure.

More specifically, the congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers recognized that non-citizens do not have the power to vote, pointing out that activist states that allow non-citizens vote not only weakens the voting power of lawful citizen voters, but effectively nullifies the Constitution’s “Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause,” (1.8.4).
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"
" If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphases added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)
" Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)
The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic Party-pirated federal and state governments oppressing everybody under its boots...
Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.
Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.
Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
Insights welcome.
I bet Lt. Governor Mark Robinson is spittin’ ten penny nails about this.......please Lord, put a stop to this madness.
Quite so.
The judge should be retired from the bench.
Every country in the G20 stipulates that all voters MUST present a government-issued photo ID when voting. The UK was the last country to adopt the regulation country-wide.
Our USA Democrats want to see your vaccine passport. But not your ID to vote!
According to progressives, we need an ID for everything in this country except the apparently sacred exercise of our voting rights.

How do you prove a negative? You cannot. These judges are incapable of logical thought.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas recently acknowledged that the justice system is a problem. NFS!
Racist when all voters are included. Got it.
Well, according to the left blacks are too crippled by life’s events to even take care of themselves.
Plenty of them living around me taking care of themselves and driving to their jobs in a car - or big pickup.
Since when was it up to the defendant to disprove an allegation. Normal jurisprudence is that it is up to the plaintiff to prove it.
Can’t have it both ways.
That would mean it’s racist to vaccinate people for Covid. Because some groups according to lawmakers have “no earthly idea” how to get an ID. Which is required at point of vaccination.
No, Just another #JihadJuntaJurist who knows the cheating is essential, for the Junta…
We allowed it. We didn't approve of it, but our sole resistance was in the voting booth.
Conservatives should have been more aggressive back when we could have made a difference. There were more of us than there were them, and we weren't so inundated with unwanted immigration.
It's too late and now we're paying the price.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
I read that they were appealing.
That’s all I wanted to read.
But you need a vax card......
Shouldn't it be that PLANTIFS must show that 'racial discrimination WAS indeed a substantial or motivating factor behind enactment of the law?
Why does this seem turned around?
Agreed. Plus these so-called judges should face some kind of legal rebuke for their moronic claim that the plaintiffs did not show proof of non-racist motives. This will get thrown out on Appeal...doubt it goes to USSC.
The racist Left insists that black people are too stupid and poor to vote like white people. Conservatives disagree. Leftist judges rule that Conservatives are therefore racist.
Then having to show a photo ID to pick up the mail you had on hold at the post office, or having to show a photo ID, or have your photograph taken before you can receive medical care, and having to show a photo ID in order to withdraw money from your bank account are all racist actions as well.
Yes
Charlotte and the Research Triangle are where that’s happening.
As is the norm, a few densely populated areas are controlling everything else.
I wonder if the legislature wrote their own law or copied one from one of the states that already has voter id?
This is a state district court. Now onto the state court of appeals or supreme court...whatever they have in NC.
