It is not fair to hold blacks and browns up to the white man’s standards. That is settled law.

Biggs invalidates North Carolina law allowing individual voters to challenge residency status of other voters (2018)
On August 8, 2018, Judge Loretta Copeland Biggs, of the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, invalidated a state statute permitting one voter to challenge the residency status of another, finding that the statute contravened the National Voter Registration Act. The case was initiated by the NAACP and others, who alleged that the practice disproportionately targeted black voters. Leah Kang, an attorney for the plaintiffs, praised Biggs’ ruling: “By purging dozens and sometimes of hundreds of voters at a time based on returned postcards, the state was disenfranchising eligible voters and violating federal law. This ruling ensures an end to this illegal practice.” Jay Delancy, North Carolina’s director for the Voter Integrity Project, whose volunteers initiated the residency challenges in question in an attempt to reduce the probability of voter fraud, said, “We followed North Carolina law scrupulously in filing more than 6,000 individualized voter challenges in 2016 and the local election boards acted properly in sustaining those challenges.”[6][7]

On August 6, 2018, the North Carolina NAACP and Clean Air Carolina sued the General Assembly of North Carolina in the Wake County Superior Court. [8] The plaintiffs asked for four constitutional amendments—the Legislative Appointments to Elections Board and Commissions Amendment, Judicial Selection for Midterm Vacancies Amendment, Voter ID Amendment, and Income Tax Cap Amendment—to be removed from the ballot. The case was not decided before the election; voters approved the Voter ID Amendment and the Income Tax Cap Amendment, and voters rejected the Legislative Appointments to Commissions Amendment and the Judicial Selection for Midterm Vacancies Amendment.
The NAACP and Clean Air Carolina said that since some lawmakers were elected from districts that a federal court ruled were unconstitutional racial gerrymanders, the existing North Carolina State Legislature was a usurper legislature. Therefore, the plaintiffs argued that the constitutional amendments should be invalidated.[9]
On February 22, 2019, Judge Bryan Collins ruled in favor of the NAACP and Clean Air Carolina, striking down the Voter ID Amendment and the Income Tax Cap Amendment. Judge Collins said, “Thus, the unconstitutional racial gerrymander tainted the three-fifths majorities required by the state Constitution before an amendment proposal can be submitted to the people for a vote, breaking the requisite chain of popular sovereignty between North Carolina citizens and their representatives. … Accordingly, the constitutional amendments placed on the ballot on November 6, 2018 were approved by a General Assembly that did not represent the people of North Carolina.”[10]
On December 31, 2019, U.S. District Judge Loretta C. Biggs ruled in favor of the NAACP and blocked the implementation of the voter ID requirement for the March 3 primary elections. In the conclusion of Biggs’ opinion, she said, “[T]he Court concludes that Plaintiffs have demonstrated a clear likelihood of success on the merits of their discriminatory intent claims for at least the voter ID and ballot-challenge provisions of S.B. 824.” Judge Biggs upheld the provision of S.B. 824 that increase the number of poll-observers from each party.[11]
And her verdict will be overturned however, all that matters is that it's in place on November 5th, 2024.
Will the NAACP be able to show that Black and Hispanic citizens are unable, forbidden or otherwise enjoined from obtaining a photo ID? This racist assumption will be interesting to watch play out.
Why is it so hard for blacks and Hispanics to get photo ID’s?
I have been showing my ID since I first started voting. It’s not that freakin hard. It is just about the cheat.
Brainstorm:
Process voter I.D.’s at abortion clinics. These terminally disenfranchised groups all know where that is.
GA and TX now have very strict ID requirements to vote, both have been upheld by courts. However, I expect the Obama judge will rule against NC.
The law which we passed by referendum in 2018 mirrors those in other states which have already been found to be constitutional. Plaintiffs can make no showing that Blacks or Hispanics or any other group is unable to obtain ID.
Anyone who ”can’t get an ID” shouldn’t vote.
I want the complainant to explain how the photo voter identification law unlawfully discriminates against black and hispanic citizens without, at the same time, discriminating against White citizens. How is that possible?
A few years ago, my employer was offered about $900 by a local nonprofit if she would come in at night, twice a week, and do taxes for free for low income people at two different community centers. She said yes and asked if I would come help, so I said yes. She said she would give me the money. We did it for about 5-6 weeks on Tuesday and Thursday nights and yes, the community centers were in the bad parts of town with a predominantly minority population.
The nonprofit assigned me the task of greeting people and checking them in, which included making sure they had a photo id, social security card, and any other necessary documents.
Not one single person batted an eye or protested when I politely asked for a photo id. Not a one. If they didn’t have it on them, they asked if they could go get it and come back. No one said it was racist or discriminatory.
This hardship/discrimination crap sounds like the usual garbage spewed by the agitating activists for purposes of continuing to push the victimhood narrative.
But it definitely doesn’t help when citizens (whether minority or not) see illegals not being required to have any sort of id but who receive all kinds of benefits.
The ending to the free tax story: After we spent 8 hours a week for 5-6 weeks of work for the nonprofit, they instead took all the volunteers to a Japanese steakhouse lunch, gave out little awards, and told my employer they didn’t remember promising her any money. Oh and while we were doing the work, a couple of the supervisors also tried to get my employer to occasionally overlook missing documents to push through people’s taxes. The argument was, “They need their money.” My employer’s response was, “I don’t commit tax fraud.”

So if the argument is blacks for whatever reason can’t get an ID, let alone a drivers license, then how do they buy cigarettes and alcohol, apply for a job, rent an apartment, book a hotel room or a flight and dozens of other things an ID is required for?
If your vote is cast with biased intent, you are violating federal election law?
IOW, Any voter that chooses to vote for a candidate that they prefer over another because of preference of political opinions, shows harmful intent in an election.
Jeeze.
