North Carolina is basically a Democratic machine. For the past 100 years until 2010, Democrats held the state legislature. For most of this time, Democrats also held the governors mansion. Many of these Democrats have been indicted by the Feds for corruption including a recent governor (Easley) and over 30 members of the state legislature.
North Carolina also experiences a significant amount of voter fraud driven by the Democratic party. The Board of Elections (also Democratic controlled) never investigates or follows-up on obvious reports of fraud... leaving many residents in our state frustrated that "one person - one vote" does not really exist in North Carolina.
Finally Republicans took over legislature in 2010 and have Voter Id as on of the key items on their agenda. Unfortunately our current criminal Democratic governor Bev Purdue (she will be indicted when she leaves office - and her own party rejected having her run again) vetoed the Voter ID bill. I can only hope that the 2012 general election is not a repeat of the wide-spread fraud we experienced in 2008.
Democrats attempt to make out Voter ID as a "voter suppression" issue. In reality Voter ID is an issue about preventing continual fraud in our election system and validating that "one person - one vote" holds true.
I will also note that earlier studies confirmed that North Carolina had over 900,000 voters on our rolls that did not have driver's licenses or any other form of id in our state.
