required voters to show one of a few specific forms of photo ID, which the state's Supreme Court justices found Friday was in part to discriminate against Black voters.
, the court ruled that while the law appeared neutral on its face, the Republican majority "targeted voters who, based on race, were unlikely to vote for the majority party."was passed in 2018 by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature even after its Democratic governor vetoed it.
Everyone has id. This is such a lie. You need Id to buy liquor, get welfare etc. This racial thing is bs and they know it
Simply incredible? No voter identification required!
this makes zero sense, actually
jbf1755 Bravissimo for the North Carolina Supreme Court! Thank you for sharing that news.
So the NCSC thinks minorities are too stupid to get identification and that is not “racially discriminatory”?
If voting didn't matter, some wouldn't be trying so hard to keep others from voting.
Ahh..thank you my state....thank you
HC_Richardson None of the Congress members listed here can remain in the government according to the U.S. Constitution. They should not be eligible to vote for Speaker, 3rd in the line of succession to POTUS. We need a court injunction 'til US_OSC and DOJCrimDiv are done investigating.
You’re right. Black people don’t have a driver’s license
Let's hope the supreme court hears that travesty of a ruling.
Its indefensible to use race hustling to quash election integrity. The only thing people want are elections they can trust.
So obviously Black People aren’t allowed to get IDs in NC. And nobody is talking about that racist law. I think Black People should also be allowed to get state IDs. After that, maybe we will let them get drivers licenses. What a clown world we live in.
So the NC Supreme Court thinks black people are incapable of getting an ID? IDK, SOUNDS KINDA RACIST TO ME.
The ruling is racist
So isn’t it racist to say Blacks arent smart enough to get ID Absurd. VoterID
JulieZebrak Exactly!
Voter identify is a basic element of proper elections. This is just stupid.
HC_Richardson Excellent! Very happy about that!
We voted to require ID. I do t know how they can take it to court and have it overturned!! It’s corruption at the highest level. They rushed this because a conservative court is incoming….
HC_Richardson The white folks spouting off below are ignorant of the NC constitution, the process of voter registration in NC, and the evidence of racial bias involved in this case. None of the tweets below confront the facts of this case
So they're ascribing motive now? How does that work?
It’s racist to think that minorities can’t get an ID.
So NC believes people that are black are to stupid to know, or understand how to get a voter ID, or any ID, and are unwilling to find a way to show people how to apply.... That's how I see it.
I think it's more racist to assume black people dont know how to find the DMV
If you’re not smart enough to know how to get an ID you shouldn’t be able to vote. More pimping the blacks from the dems.
So every function of society that does require a photo ID should stop?
The bigotry of low expectations strikes again. The people who pushed this lawsuit & the justices to made this ruling are literally racist.
How so?
Its racist to assume black people are too inept to get free IDs
So, to sum it up, the court doesn't think that black people are smart enough to get an ID card. Doesn't that make the court racist?
This is silly. You need to have some form of ID to be a functioning adult. You need said item to: drive, get a job, bank, fly, go to the Dr, get meds, go to a club, buy age restricted items... Are these things racist? (Theres articles for each, i know)
Good to know Democrats don’t think black people can get IDs
