OPPONENTS OF VOTER ID KEEP LOSING IN COURT: High court denies review of North Carolina voting laws.
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a request to review of the legality of North Carolina’s new voting laws that opponents call discriminatory.
North Carolina v. League of Women Voters stems from the sweeping new voter laws North Carolina pursued after the Supreme Court lifted certain restrictions of the Voting Rights Act in June 2013.
The state’s voting reforms created stricter voter-identification requirements, cut a week off of early voting, prohibited local election boards from keeping polls open on the final Saturday afternoon before elections, eliminated same-day voter registration, opened up precincts to challengers, eliminated preregistration of 16 and 17-year-olds in high school and barred votes cast in the wrong precinct from being counted, according to court documents.
The League of Women Voters sued the state, arguing the laws violated equal protections under the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.
Have you noticed how the League of Women Voters is just a bunch of partisan shills?
