A federal judge upheld a sweeping North Carolina law that required voters to show a photo identification before casting a ballot.
In a 485-page opinion, Thomas D. Schroeder of the Federal District Court in Winston-Salem wrote that the law served a "legitimate state interest" in its effort to "detect and deter fraud."
Michael Tomsic of NPR member station WFAE reports that Schroeder upheld all the parts of the 2013 law, including the ID requirement, the cuts to early voting and an end to same-day registration.

Bravo!!
I wasn't asked for mine. I even asked if they wanted it to see if I'm who I say I am. Nope. However 2 mins later my wife is asked for hers. Computer said to verify. I'm like what in the world? Makes no sense.
485 pages? Really?
Since when does a state law contravene or override a federal law or a lack thereof??
Either we have a Standardized federal law and, federal enforcement or
we have no law requiring ID's. We cannot have conflicting and selective interpretations and enforcement in the United States.
Its only when the contest gets hot do we start to find selective fault with system.
As it should be everywhere. The democrats do not want us to show id, so they can get their illegals to vote and so certain others can vote more than once.
