Court strikes down North Carolina voter ID law
2016-07-30
[POLITICO] A federal appeals court has struck down North Carolina’s voter identification law, holding that it was "passed with racially discriminatory intent."
I wonder how that was proven ?
The ruling also invalidated limits the same state law placed in 2013 on early voting, same-day registration, out-of-precinct voting, and preregistration.

The three judges assigned to the case -- all Democratic appointees -- were unanimous that the Republican-controlled North Carolina legislature violated the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act three years ago by enacting the measure requiring voters to show certain types of photo ID at the polls.

"The record makes clear that the historical origin of the challenged provisions in this statute is not the innocuous back-and-forth of routine partisan struggle that the State suggests and that the district court accepted," Judge Diana Motz wrote on behalf of Judges James Wynn and Henry Floyd. "Rather, the General Assembly enacted them in the immediate aftermath of unprecedented African American voter participation in a state with a troubled racial history and racially polarized voting. The district court clearly erred in ignoring or dismissing this historical background evidence, all of which supports a finding of discriminatory intent."

#5  But those same IDs were required to get into the Dem convention (or to buy beer.)

#3  Gee... all these ID voter laws being struck down before a national election as the selected dictator candidate is plunging in the polls.

You would almost suspect that there is a plot here to make sure she gets elected.

#2  The requirement for ID doesn't seem to have discouraged alcohol or tobacco sales across any racial divide, real or imagined.

#1  "passed with racially discriminatory intent."


Because it prevents African-Americans voting several times - to make up for all the time they weren't allowed to vote?
