Justice Department to sue North Carolina over voting law
Washington (CNN) - The Justice Department is expected to file a lawsuit Monday seeking to block parts of a new North Carolina voting law that tightens election procedures, including requiring photo identification to cast ballots.
The lawsuit would challenge four parts of the law and ask a court to require North Carolina to obtain pre-approval for certain voting law changes under a part of the Voting Rights Act that remains in effect, according to a person briefed on the legal filing.

Just go get a valid ID and stop crying. There is plenty of time to do it and then vote these representatives out of office.
It took the Justice Department long enough.
The Republicans are looking to win elections by hook because they're crooks.
Like I said when the SCOTUS struck down "the hammer" portion of the Voting Rights Act, it is open season for poll taxes and other forms voting rights discrimmination. The VRA no longer has any teeth to enforce its' own provisions.
Just another Republican state trying to push their weight around.
It's easier to buy an AR-15 in N. Carolina than it is to vote.

Why? There is ZERO evidence of any measurable voter fraud, and the GOP is betting that a ;large percentage will not or cannot acquire such ID- hence, removing themselves from the voting rolls. In a Democracy, wouldn't it be good for MORE to vote? What are Republicans really standing for here?
