The attempt by North Carolina to deny blacks the right to vote based on a need for a bogus ID card program has been overturned and will no doubt now deliver NC to Hillary. Sure it will be appealed by NC but given the dynamics of the court a 4-4 split upholds the ruling. This will also set a precedent and help overturn all these bogus attempts by other Republican led States to disenfranchise blacks and minorities.
Another nail in Donald and the repubs coffin and rightly so given their shameful and bigoted motivation to deny blacks and other minorities the right to vote. Their only hope in a diversifying country is to make it difficult for those that won't vote for them to vote, and now that has been taken away from them in a resounding fashion.
Say hello to the beginning of the end for the Repubs and their broken and bigoted party.
Why are you so racist? You truly believe a black person is unable to obtain an ID just like everyone else? I don't understand why the left thinks so low of blacks and minorities. You really are shameful as a human being.
How is requiring one to have to show ID to vote equate to denying blacks the right to vote?
Do you think that blacks (and other minorities) are incapable of getting IDs? That's a rather bigoted assumption on your part.
The appeals court ruled it had a discriminatory effect so I figure the judges that ruled on this have more knowledge than you or I, and I'm with them. Bottom line is the conservative NC Governor overplayed their hand in putting a solution in place that didn't have a problem.
It's the bathroom bill on steroids which was also unnecessary and has now cost NC hundreds of millions of dollars, a loss of jobs and just recently the NBA All Star game, and it $100,000,000 impact to the local economy
Keep it up Repubs as it will just continue to marginalize and ultimately destroy your small minded and bigoted party.
Federal appellate judges on Friday struck down a 2013 law limiting voting options and requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls, declaring in an unsparing opinion that the restrictions “target African Americans with almost surgical precision.”
^^^^ So...the assumption is that blacks and other minorities are incapable of obtaining photo ID? That's insulting and bigoted.

I live in VA and we have to show photo ID to vote.
So...why is having to show photo ID in NC all of a sudden considered to be "targeting African-Americans [and other minorities] with surgical precision"?
I'm half Hispanic and would find it insulting that anyone would assume because of my ethnicity that I didn't have any photo ID. Also, my 91 year old father and his 88 year old sister would also find it insulting.

Seems to me to be all about throwing a smoke screen up to make it easy to get the millions of illegal aliens to vote. And I wonder what party they'd overwhelmingly vote for?
No voting ID required. No borders. Santuary cities who just state "we won't follow federal law" and it's all looked at with a yawn. I wonder what's next.....no jails/let the criminals run free because incarcerating people who commit crimes will be now proven to be racist or something/be against the criminals "rights"?
You had to show an ID to get into the recent DNC. Guess no blacks showed up and that was racist.
