From article: “A federal appeals court shot down parts of a 2013 North Carolina law that had similar provisions as the 2018 law, saying the earlier gambit had been written in with “almost surgical precision” to target Black voters...Other, less restrictive voter ID laws would have sufficed to achieve the legitimate nonracial purposes of implementing the constitutional amendment requiring voter ID, deterring fraud, or enhancing voter confidence,” the judges ruled.
Issue is not that voter ID overall was bad, but that the specific NC law appeared to target voters by race based on how it was written
