North Carolina First to Toughen Voting Laws After Ruling

You're right BSAM it doesn't say, not that I found in my quick reading of it just now. But I would think that all the supreme court cases have settled that question. Thanks for the homework sir, I learned something new today.

bigzero got you convinced yet? :D

I've never seen anyone so utterly desperate to get others to agree with him.

I'm not even sure what he is trying to convince me of lol. He starts arguing about mine and others statements supporting voter id laws, but then says he supports them as well. I guess he doesn't like these other restrictions that go along with them, which i said is unimportant to me AND they already exist, and gave an example in my last post. Plus cutting down early voting time is stupid for reps because that is how our servicemen overseas vote, and they overwhelmingly vote REP.
 
Quote from Ricter:

I'm not either. To be fair, I'd make a trade, more careful ID verification in exchange for lengthened voting hours.

Even better, move it to the weekend like just about everywhere else in this world. Tuesday voting is an antiquated, 2 century old tradition that needs to be reconciled with the times.
 
Voting shouldn't be scattered over different days.
The election (presidential) should be held on the first Tuesday in November, or some other particular day.
If voting is important to you, you'll be there.
Yes, you will.

There are Amendments that deal specifically with voting, and lay out that the right to vote can't be denied based on race, gender, or age (over 18). But that doesn't mean everyone over 18 has the right to vote, so restrictions seem to be permitted.. but i dunno.
 
The constitution isn't a perfect document.
But, the people who intentionally violate the constitution are much worse.
Obamacare is a "tax".
Kiss my ass supreme court.
 
Here is an example of typical voting fraud by Democrats in North Carolina.

While many people try to claim that there is minimal voting fraud, we have example after example make the news in our state.

Here is an example from the town next to us in North Carolina. In this case - Morrisville town council member, Linda Lyons, submitted at 'least five absentee ballots for voters in her district' (ashame the people she was voting for knew nothing about the ballots). She also attempted to vote herself both absentee and in-person on election day.

She has actually been doing this for many years in multiple elections and finally someone had the guts to call her out on it. Funny thing, in all the media she acted surprised that this was all somehow a problem.
 
Saying this is about politics is a deflection. I could as easily say laws against denying blacks the right to vote are about politics.

In both cases the law addresses a wrong. Vote fraud is wrong, not a right. Every fraudulent vote offsets a legitimate vote. It's not a victimless crime.

Rights carry responsibilities. If exercising your right to vote is so unimportant to you that you don't get a proper ID, don't register, etc, you have no business voting. You certainly shouldn't be able to hand your vote off like a corporate proxy to some activist group.

For all their whining about "democracy," liberals have no taste for it when they can't control the outcome. Look at the big fight over so-called Cardcheck, a proposed law that would do away with secret union certification elections. Instead, union goons could come to your home or catch you at the parking lot and demand that you sign a card making them your rep and thus handing them part of your paycheck. Tony Soprano would have loved it.
