Y’all not have any thoughts on the actual voter fraud in NC?
How does requiring ID cause disenfranchisement? If the gov requires ID to vote then the government should provide the ID free of charge.
That has always been the point of contention in the voter ID standard. Access to get the ID is not the same for everyone in every state. There is more of a problem with people being denied the right to vote because they moved and the new address next door doesn't show up on their ID or the new address does not make it to a states voter registration system.
The thing that I thought was bad was that our county had a mental retardation hospital (recently closed and patients in state built homes) , and I watched as workers brought in patients, some were drooling and strapped into hospital beds, not even knowing they were in the world. The worker went into the booth and pulled the levers for them.
The center was for people with "intellectual difficulties" and was the largest in the state. At one time there were 1,100 residents. Some were basically vegetables. If you don't think they made a difference in local elections, you are wrong. Our Sheriff had someone on the inside to get out his constituents.
Voter ID would have done absolutely nothing to stop this fraud by the Republicans.
That is like the Wall people thinking it will stop drugs, rape, and murder.

How many states does this make now who have had their congressional maps tossed out? North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan... anyone else? In every one of these cases, it's because a Republican governor gerrymandered the districts along racially discriminatory lines.Federal Court Throws Out Ohio's Congressional Map
A federal court has ruled that Ohio's congressional map is an "unconstitutional partisan gerrymander" and must be redrawn by the 2020 election.
