Republican attempts to require photo identification to vote in North Carolina are being thwarted again by judges hearing arguments that the mandate is tainted by bias that would deter black and Latino residents.
A federal court announced that next week U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs will formally block a photo ID requirement scheduled to begin in 2020. Unless the upcoming preliminary injunction is successfully appealed, the requirement will be halted until a lawsuit filed by the state NAACP and others is resolved.
The actual reasons for Biggs issuing the injunction — and whether the legislature could pass a law altering the rules to resolve her concerns — won't be known until the formal order is released.

HANG the judge.
In Obamaninism, home boy never paid attention to Judges
Photo voter ID should be mandatory only someone who wants illegals to vote would be against it.
Obama-appointed judge.
So damn wrong. You are right 10:40am, only someone who wants illegals to vote would stop this. They, "the democrats", always have to cheat to win.
Must be an Obama appointed judge.
By hook or crook. The dimmy way to win elections...
there is literally no good reason to oppose voter ID's. That is, unless your goal is fraud.
