Federal judge releases scathing opinion blocking North Carolina GOP from restricting voter access

On Tuesday, a federal judge in North Carolina released a blistering opinion in NAACP v. Cooper, blocking the North Carolina GOP from enforcing its strict voter ID requirement and ordering state officials to inform voters that the requirement is not in effect for their upcoming elections.

District Judge Loretta Biggs wrote that there was profound evidence the measure was engineered with “discriminatory intent,” pointing to the GOP’s repeated efforts to gerrymander the state.

for bringing a small dose of sanity to my state. The STUPID runs deep here and the evil Repugs got a temporary wake up call. They will be back at it again in a few weeks unfortunately. Still anything we can do to stop the repugs insanity is a good thing.
