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

[guno]

This is what it was always about

Today, a federal court struck down North Carolina's voter-ID law, one of the strictest in the nation. In addition to requiring residents to show identification before they can cast a ballot, the law also eliminated same-day voter registration, eliminated seven days of early voting and put an end to out-of-precinct voting. The federal court ruling reinstates these provisions, for now.

Supporters of the law, like North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, have long maintained that requirements like these were necessary to prevent voter fraud. But time and time again, scholars and legal experts have found that the type of fraud these laws are meant to combat is largely nonexistent.

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.

Without fraud, democrats would never win an election.

It's a fact that Blacks are still too ignorant even in 2016 to be required to do anything the rest of America does so easily.

Only people from superior cultures are responsible enough to get IDs.

This was one of the last ditch efforts over the last 6 years by Republicans to try to remain competitive in elections as their base of angry old white men is fading. They've seen the writing on the wall for a while now and they have been trying every dirty trick in the book to limit American democracy to favor their narrow worldview, rather than all voters deciding which way the country should move. And it looked for a moment like they may succeed. But that moment is coming to a close and ending. One can only wait to see the next desperate ploy they come up with.
