The Justice Department announced Monday that it is suing the state of North Carolina for alleged racial discrimination over tough new voter ID rules.
The suit claims that the North Carolina statute violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and would seek to have the state subject to federal pre-clearance before making "future voting-related changes." The suit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nashville, Tenn. Attorney General Eric Holder said "by restricting access and ease of voter participation, this new law would shrink, rather than expand, access" to voting.
The Justice Department will ask a federal judge to place the four provisions in North Carolina's new law under federal scrutiny for an indeterminate period. The suit is the latest effort by the Obama administration to fight back against a Supreme Court decision that struck down the most powerful part of the landmark Voting Rights Act and freed southern states from strict federal oversight of their elections.
North Carolina's new law scales back the period for early voting and imposes stringent voter identification requirements. It is among at least five Southern states adopting stricter voter ID and other election laws. The Justice Department on Aug. 22 sued Texas over the state's voter ID law and is seeking to intervene in a lawsuit over redistricting laws in Texas that minority groups consider to be discriminatory.
Republican lawmakers in southern states insist the new measures are needed to prevent voter fraud, though such crimes are infrequent. Democrats and civil rights groups argue the tough new laws are intended to make voting more difficult for minorities and students, voting groups that lean toward Democrats, in states with legacies of poll taxes and literacy tests.

Meanwhle, there’s no justice for the families whose loved ones were murdered in Benghazi?????????????
Amazing the restricting early voting is some kind of violation. There’s no need for it, period. It’s a convenience - not a right. %^&* off Holder - you racist pr*ck.
THREE YEARS TO OBTAIN A FREE ID?
TOO LONG! </sarcasm>
Good NC needs to take this to the Supremes and smoke Roberts and Alito out of the closet...
Marxists just hate free and fair elections, n'est ce pas?
(And, they never figure out that undermining free and fair elections affects THEM TOO; that is, until it's too late).
.
The DOJ was the army THE FOREIGNER was talking about to do his bidding. WITHHOLDER and THE FOREIGNER are locked at the him in their hatred for this country.
Holder should be forced to RESIGN...
All he wants to do is sue states that want voter ID. Laws..
Holder does not want any type of ID as it will destroy his and obama’s crooked voting..it will stop the dead from voting, and the minority of voting multiply times..
surely the dept of Justice has tons of jobs that need their attention..this nonsense needs to stop.
First judge should toss the lawsuit claiming that the DoJ has no standing.
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

A: Eric Holder still has his job.
Gonna be an interesting election year in Detroit since the state has effectively seized control of their elections. When the white guy (D) won the primary election they immediately stripped him of some 40% of his votes with no explanation. The state forced them to return his votes.
We also have a new law requiring election oversight of traditional “problem areas”.
Don’t fold, Pat.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise. Thanks.

Holder's "I Have A Dream" Speech
Anywhere you go, work, apply, visit, enter, ride, fly, you need to show an ID but the DOD and the regime says you can vote without anyone knowing who you are or how many times you voted. If this isnt criminal what is? We need to stop the insanity and start hauling thier a##es to jail
