N.C. Republicans try again to dislodge voter ID from courts
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Republican legislative leaders are trying to reinstate the implementation of a voter photo identification requirement.
Attorneys for the GOP legislators have filed a motion asking trial court judges to lift an order that blocked enforcement of a 2018 law that laid out the rules for voter photo ID while a state lawsuit filed by voters goes to trial. That law came swiftly after voters added an ID requirement to the state constitution in November 2018.
Even if the motion filed Thursday is granted, a photo ID requirement for the November election still appears to be a long shot. Such a decision likely would be appealed. Two other voter ID lawsuits are pending, and a federal judge also blocked the voter ID implementation last December.
“It is past time for activist courts to stop blocking another common-sense elections policy that is required by North Carolina’s constitution and a strong majority of other states,” House Speaker Tim Moore, a defendant in the state lawsuit, said in a news release.

The only way these idiots can win is by suppressing the vote.
