Judge Says North Carolina Must Restore Voter Registrations Of Those Removed From Rolls

WASHINGTON ― County election boards in North Carolina must restore the registrations of voters removed from the polls, U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs ordered on Friday.

The order follows an emergency hearing held on Wednesday to address allegations that election officials in Beaufort, Moore and Cumberland counties had removed voters from the rolls due to campaign mailers that were returned as undeliverable.

The North Carolina NAACP sued the state on Monday, claiming the purge targeted black voters.

be undone by the ruling alone. R's often don't comply with courts and somehow get away with it.

For every one we stop, they probably get away with 10 others.

People need to get jail time.
