North Carolina Voter ID Law Will Not Go Into Effect After Split Decision From Supreme Court


North Carolina’s voter ID law may have seemed like a common sense approach to defeat voter fraud, but that isn’t stopping the left from crying “racist.” Now, those cries have made it all the way to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court denied a request Wednesday from North Carolina to allow provisions of its controversial voting rights law to go back into effect.

In a 4-4 split, justices left undisturbed a lower court opinion that struck down the law.
The Supreme Court’s order means provisions of the law — concerning a tightening in voter ID requirements, cutbacks on early voting and the preregistration of 16-year-olds — will remain off the books for November’s election.
The court’s order is a major victory for challengers to the law, including civil rights groups and the Department of Justice, which argued that it had a disparate impact on minority voters. In July, a three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals held that provisions of the law targeted “African-Americans with almost surgical precision.”
Hillary Clinton tweeted that the ruling was “great news.” “Let’s make voting easier so every voice in our democracy can be heard,” she wrote.

The left has long claimed that voter ID laws solve a problem that doesn’t exist, citing the fact that very few voter fraud cases make it through the courts. Without voter ID, though, voter fraud will never be found. It’s just another way liberals protect their position of power by disallowing the presence of fact.
