The ‘smoking gun’ proving North Carolina Republicans tried to disenfranchise black voters

[Wyatt earp]

'The federal court in Richmond found that the primary purpose of North Carolina's wasn't to stop voter fraud, but rather to disenfranchise minority voters. The judges found that the provisions "target African Americans with almost surgical precision."'

African-American voters perceived to be likely democratic voters, needless to say.

The myth of ‘voter fraud’ will forever be an article of religious faith among republicans and conservatives, a façade behind which they attempt to hide their efforts to violate the voting rights of black and other minority voters.

The reprehensible right, indeed.

The democrat Nanny state..

All subjects are ignorant slaves to the democrat elite masters..

That's how Rome burned

The ‘smoking gun’ proving North Carolina Republicans tried to disenfranchise black voters


*snip*

One of the most comprehensive studies on the subject found only 31 individual cases of voter impersonation out of more than 1 billion votes cast in the United States since the year 2000. Researchers have found that reports of voter fraud are roughly as common as reports of alien abduction.

The federal court in Richmond found that the primary purpose of North Carolina's wasn't to stop voter fraud, but rather to disenfranchise minority voters. The judges found that the provisions "target African Americans with almost surgical precision."

In particular, the court found that North Carolina lawmakers requested data on racial differences in voting behaviors in the state. "This data showed that African Americans disproportionately lacked the most common kind of photo ID, those issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)," the judges wrote.

So the legislators made it so that the only acceptable forms of voter identification were the ones disproportionately used by white people. "With race data in hand, the legislature amended the bill to exclude many of the alternative photo IDs used by African Americans," the judges wrote. "The bill retained only the kinds of IDs that white North Carolinians were more likely to possess."

The data also showed that black voters were more likely to make use of early voting — particularly the first seven days out of North Carolina's 17-day voting period. So lawmakers eliminated these seven days of voting. "After receipt of this racial data, the General Assembly amended the bill to eliminate the first week of early voting, shortening the total early voting period from seventeen to ten days," the court found.

Most strikingly, the judges point to a "smoking gun" in North Carolina's justification for the law, proving discriminatory intent. The state argued in court that "counties with Sunday voting in 2014 were disproportionately black" and "disproportionately Democratic," and said it did away with Sunday voting as a result.

"Thus, in what comes as close to a smoking gun as we are likely to see in modern times, the State’s very justification for a challenged statute hinges explicitly on race — specifically its concern that African Americans, who had overwhelmingly voted for Democrats, had too much access to the franchise," the judges write in their decision.

This is about as clear-cut an indictment of the discriminatory underpinnings of voter-ID laws as you'll find anywhere. Studies have already shown a significant link between support for voter ID and racial discrimination, among both lawmakers and white voters in general.

"Faced with this record," the federal court concludes, "we can only conclude that the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the challenged provisions of the law with discriminatory intent."

Ya know what's funny.... You couldn't get into the DNC convention without showing ID. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander don't ya know...

You can't function w/o a valid ID. No two ways about it

I agree, you can not drive , write a check, have a banking account and the list goes on.

No EBT, no welfare benefits, virtually everything requires a valid ID these days and to say someone may not have one is ridiculous

Wrong.

You truly are an ignorant, hateful rightist – typical of most conservatives.

As already correctly noted: a photo ID is not required to apply for and receive public assistance.

Identity is verified using the applicant’s SSN verified via Numident with the SSA.

An applicant needs two of these to obtain benefits...perhaps you can point out which one they can get w/o an ID? Save your BS troll, you cannot function in society w/o a valid ID.


They listed 15 documents that could help establish identity for a Work First subject. Applicants need to supply two of these documents to support their claim on N.C. residency:

1. Driver’s license or ID card

2. Rent receipt

3. Utility bill

4. Motor vehicle registration

5. Documentation from an employer

6. Closed bank account or termination of employment from another state

7. Tax records

8. Registration with an employment agency

8. Children’s school records

9. Food stamps/Medicaid documentation

10. Records from health care provider

11. Written declaration from collateral contact

12. Voter registration card

13. VA or military documentation

14. N.C. school records diploma

15. Document from foreign consulate

[JimH52]

everyone homes in on voter id, but the op also mentions cutting down early voting and eliminating sunday as a day to vote.

That's another thing why do little black sambos need weeks and months to vote?

You have to be one of the most ignorant racist that has ever posted on this board. Thanks for sharing your stupidity.

What year is this 1950?

Do you need a tissue or something?

You never answered my question though, why do the democrats think blacks are to stupid to get an ID?

Why must they be protected like children?

It seems to me the democrats are the racist of all, oh yea I forget that is the democrat heritage ..

Why don't you go burn a cross or something?

 

[Wyatt earp]

Living in the deep south I know no way in hell an African American would walk the roads with out a ID...

Btw your ilk thinks PORCH monkey's are to God damn dumb to figure out how to get an ID...

Not us

 

[Synthaholic]

If you can't get an ID you have no business voting

Most especially if you're of darker hue, poor, and elderly. Fuck you, in america it was only affluent land holding white males who were supposed to get the vote anyway. God bless the founders. Some rabid frothy mouthed Reich wing fanatics say you don't get to vote.

Name me one blackie that don't have an ID?

How is your mother by the way?

Still can't name me one blackie with out an ID?

Its always funny how democrats insult blackie, insisting they are To fucking retarded to get an ID.

"blackie"?

He's been watching 'Django Unchained' again.
