Also this week, New Mexico pledged to invest $300 million for early childhood education, and Kentucky announced a record number of registered voters.

This week, both North Carolina and Florida saw victories for voting rights, and the University of Southern California announced a plan to help tackle student debt for low-income students.

Read on to see what else flew under the radar this week.

North Carolina's Court of Appeals blocked a GOP-backed voter ID law on Tuesday after determining it was written with "an intention to target African-American voters," Reuters reported.

The unanimous ruling means the voter ID law is unlikely to be enforced for the 2020 election, according to Stephen Wolf, a voting rights expert with Daily Kos Elections.

In November, North Carolina will see a competitive Senate race between first-term Republican Sen. Thom Tillis and his likely Democratic opponent, former state Sen. Cal Cunningham, as well as a competitive race for governor, with Democrat Roy Cooper facing reelection. The state will also be a presidential battleground.

And decided I’d go over to DU just to sour my day, and of course it did.

Then I saw your post. I’ve been following these stories. Thank you, turbinetree for restoring my good mood. Now I’ll be gone for the day.
