North Carolina Governor Signs Extensive Voter ID Law
[WashingtonPost] The move is likely to touch off a major court battle over voting rights, and the Justice Department is weighing a challenge to the new law, which is the first to pass since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.
| Well done, NC! Now let's see how well Eric Holder's Justice Department does at fighting this under the new rules. (Really old rules, because it's the other clause or whatever, but not rules he or his people have ever been subject to before.) |
| Best part is that most of the new rules have been implemented, one way or another, by a majority of other states. Restrictions on early voting? Photo ID? Provisional ballots? All been done. If Holder is serious a lot of states are going to be filing amicus curiae briefs to defend their own laws. |
