A federal appeals court decisively struck down North Carolinas voter identification law on Friday, saying its provisions deliberately target African-Americans with almost surgical precision in an effort to depress black turnout at the polls.
The sweeping decision upended voting procedures in a presidential-election battleground state barely three months before Election Day. It tossed out North Carolinas requirement that voters present photo identification at the polls and restored voters ability to register on Election Day, to register before reaching the 18-year-old voting age, and to cast early ballots, provisions the law had fully or partially eliminated.
The court also restored a provision that ensured that the ballots of people who mistakenly voted at the wrong polling station were deemed valid

Enforce it at state level anyway.
Balls in your court, Governors and AGs...are you going to acquiesce or tell these black robes to pound sand?
Why can’t we just take a thumbprint of each voter?
Wouldn’t it be easier just to eliminate state governments altogether? Then each state could be ruled by a federal judge.
They don’t even hide it anymore....that statement is complete utter BS and nothing but liberal talking points.
In other words, blacks are fundamentally stupid, cannot use the banking system, drive cars, enter courthouses or fly anywhere.
Racist judge.
The dems know Hillary is in deep trouble so they are doing everything they can to defraud the legitimate American voter....
THAT would do the trick.
Those people wouldn’t go if you paid ‘em....
Thumbprint is a great idea but wouldn’t that be discriminatory toward the dead voters?
A blatant conflict of interest for federal judges to have a say in the very act responsible for giving them more power.
Thumbprint? That’s nothing but pure harassment. It makes us feel like second class citizens, like criminals. Besides, the ink causes cancer.

re: “surgical precision”
Why are such judges proud to assert that blacks are uniquely incompetent to handle elementary tasks of citizenship??? (their view not mine)
This is truly the “soft bigotry of low expectations”....
and Democrats truly are the Party of Vote Fraud.
Wow two in one day. Kind of makes you think pressure and collusion are in play here. BURN IT ALL DOWN!
Here’s an idea: when you vote, the voting machine takes your picture. All pictures of voters could then be cross-checked using facial recognition technology against mug shots, death records, and other voters to eliminate criminals, the dead vote, and repeat voters. The computing power necessary to do so exists.
That would eliminate 90% of demscum vote fraud.
Of course lib judges would find some way to strike this down because it would mean the end of demscum getting elected except in the most leftist states.
Apparently the court’s logic is that blacks are not intelligent enough to comply with a proof of identity that whites have no problem with.
