Officials with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund on Friday filed a notice in court saying they are appealing Wednesday's dismissal of the group's lawsuit challenging Alabama's voter ID laws.

U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler ordered the lawsuit filed by Greater Birmingham Ministries, Alabama NAACP and individual plaintiffs against the State of Alabama be dismissed.

"We are deeply disappointed by the judge's ruling dismissing our case before trial," said LDF President and Director-Counsel Sherrilyn Ifill. "Over the course of two years, we have developed a sound case demonstrating that Alabama's voter ID law is racially discriminatory. We had hoped to present our full case at trial next month."

The group filed the notice of appeal on Friday.

rank and file republican voters want judges to ignore the law and constitution and reinforce their prejudices and ignorance
