1. The GOP message cannot win in fair elections.

So rather than change the message, the GOP leadership will do everything it can to suppress votes and steal elections.

3. Exactly

They want minority rule and will cheat to get and hold it.

8. The GOP is the party of voter suppression

I volunteer a great deal of my time on voter protection efforts. The GOP will try to suppress the vote in order to win elections.

13. Joe didnt actually do anything to affect this case

He only comments on it here. The people to thank are the fine legal minds here in my state of NC who have been working on this issue for years. This is not fodder for primary politics, and should not be presented as such.

everyone involved.

I can thank who I want to thank.

Joe is correct about that.

7. All That I Hear

From my reich wing neighbor, is all about the tens of millions of illegal votes cast for Hillary Clinton in the last election. I tell you what, when Lord Marmelade puts forth a false argument, his followers cling to it like their very lives depend upon it being true. No facts will deter their made-up minds.

16. Your poor neighbor is brainwashed.

9. I am part of Lawyers for Biden

We will be doing voter protection efforts for the primaries

17. Federal Court strikes down North Carolina's discriminatory voter ID law.

The federal judge who blocked the newest version of North Carolina’s voter identification law cited the state’s “sordid history of racial discrimination and voter suppression” as she ordered officials not to enforce the law in 2020.

U.S. District Court Judge Loretta Biggs’ decision was released Tuesday and prevents North Carolina from requiring voters to provide identification starting in 2020. The Republican leaders of the state House and Senate, however, have asked North Carolina’s Department of Justice to appeal.

The federal court advised last week that Biggs would formally block the photo ID requirement until a lawsuit filed by state NAACP and others is resolved. Her decision provided insight into why she blocked the law, which she said was similar to a 2013 law that a federal appeals court struck down in 2016.

That court said the photo ID and other voter restrictions were approved with intentional racial discrimination in mind, and Biggs said the newest version of the law was no different in that respect.

“North Carolina has a sordid history of racial discrimination and voter suppression stretching back to the time of slavery, through the era of Jim Crow, and, crucially, continuing up to the present day,” Biggs wrote.
