A federal judge on Monday night upheld North Carolina’s voter ID law, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Judge Thomas Schroeder issued a 485-page ruling posted online Monday evening, dismissing all claims in the challenge to the state’s 2013 election law overhaul.
Schroeder, appointed by George W. Bush, also upheld portions of the law that cut the number of days people could vote early and eliminated same-day registration and voting allowances.
"This ruling further affirms that requiring a photo ID in order to vote is not only common-sense, it's constitutional," Gov. Pat McCrory said in a statement.
Opponents immediately condemned the decision.
"The sweeping barriers imposed by this law undermine voter participation and have an overwhelmingly discriminatory impact on African-Americans,” Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, said in a statement to the Observer.
An appeal to the ruling is likely, and many expect the case to go all the way to the Supreme Court.
Hopefully so and that thought crossed my mind.
It sounds like he doesn't want to be overturned and took the time to assure it.
Outstanding!!!
That’s retarded, sir! :0)
Democrat vote fraud has been rampant in Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Cleveland the past 2 elections.
*******************************
I recall that in 2012 the Ohio and PA vote counts were very late in being reported, and they put Obama over the top. There were Counties that had over 100% of the number of registered voters. Total fraud.
How does this discriminate against African Americans?
They have driver’s licenses or at least an ID card- or can get an ID card easily.
Dems wutt cant reed.
Dose wutt woent cant to git ups offa cowch.
