The North Carolina Supreme Court on Friday knocked down a 2018 voter-identification law it said discriminated against Black voters and ordered a state Senate map be redrawn due to Republican partisan gerrymandering.
Both were 4-3 decisions along party lines, with all the court’s Democratic justices voting in the majority and all Republican justices dissenting. The decisions come just before the court flips to GOP control on Jan. 1, when there will be five Republican justices and two Democrats.
The court upheld a lower court’s 2021 ruling that a 2018 law requiring voters to present photo ID was unconstitutional. The majority opinion said that the lower court correctly found that the law “was motivated by a racially discriminatory purpose.”

Is there something stopping minorities from getting a state ID? I just don't understand why showing an ID to vote is racist? I am more then willing to hear the reasoning, I just don't get this one... However, if proper ID accessibility is the concern here, truly the concern... then we should also remove the need to provide ID when buying a gun. All that is doing is driving up illegal guns sales because showing an ID to exercise a constitutional right is racists?? Right? Leading people to purchase there guns illegally so they can protect themselves...
I propose we make getting a state ID free in all states and provide more locations where a person can get one. Like a school, or a city building in each town/city/county.... that fixes both those flawed ideas...

1SG (Join to see) I am arguing that no legal citizen should have to show ID to exercise any constitutional right. But if we are going to make it a requirement for one, it should be a requirement for all. I would also argue that one policy or politician can inflict much greater harm to the freedoms and liberty to our nation then a gun ever could. Just my opinion. I also have to show my ID and subject to a federal background check every time a purchase a firearm... why not expect any level of verification for voting??? If it's all a legal and legit process, why not then?
Side note, I do really a truly belive our election process is legit and am in no way an election denier nut job...
