The Human Touch Revealing All that is Real
The NC General Assembly Readies to Give Life to the New Photo-Voter ID Amendment
(6) Increase Voter Transparency
Explanation: It is vital for election integrity and public confidence that anybody who votes in NC becomes a resident of the state. One of the key features to residency is their having a legal DMV-issued driver license or ID card. Candidates and parties need to know how many voters within their district do not have legal residency. This type of critical information cannot be hidden from the public if we are to rebuild public confidence in the democratic process. The Voter Integrity Project recommends that Section 1.5 (b), which is a section that addresses voter education, be amended as follows:
SECTION 1.5(b) The State Board is directed to create a list containing all registered voters of North Carolina who are otherwise qualified to vote but do not have a North Carolina drivers license or other form of identification containing a photograph issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles of the Department of Transportation, as of April (DELETE: "September") 1, 2019. Every month thereafter, an updated and current version of the list must be made available at no cost to the public. (DELETE: "to any registered voter upon request. The State Board may charge a reasonable fee for the provision of the list in order to recover associated costs of producing the list"). The Division of Motor Vehicles must provide the list of persons with a North Carolina drivers license or other form of identification containing a photograph issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles at no cost to the State Board.
Rationale: The Voter Integrity Project believes this information should be made public, on the State Board of Election (SBOE) site, at no cost.

The NC General Assembly reconvened today for an expected two-week session, to continue work on the new Voter ID law. In fact, the law is expected to be its top priority. I am encouraging everyone to contact their representative to make sure the photo-voter ID law proceeds as the voters intended (establishing a strict system of identification in order to vote) and to support the recommendations made by Jay Delancy and the NC Voter Integrity Project.
The NC Voter Integrity Project has been a tireless advocate for a strong, common-sense Voter ID law here in North Carolina and for years, it has been investigating, uncovering, and prosecuting verified instances of actual voter fraud, highlighting the reality that voter fraud in NC is very real and a very real problem thus providing the basis for such a law. Jay has been a guest on FOX News, the Rachel Maddow Show, and other shows to address the reality of voter fraud and to educate the American people who otherwise continue to be told by the main stream media that voter fraud is a myth. Jay Delancy and the NC Voter Integrity Project have our backs here in North Carolina and always have. We owe them so much.
As mentioned earlier, state House and Senate Republican leaders want to pass the implementing law before the end of the year - before they lose their supermajority. Once the next session begins, Republicans will no longer have enough votes to override any veto issued by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, a longtime photo ID opponent. And so, time is of the essence !
*** Of course, after I finished the article and began formatting it to post, the NC General Assembly rewrote the bill and filed it at 4:30 pm as Senate Bill 824 (S.B. 824). I will review the new bill tomorrow (or whenever I can access it from the General Assembly's website - http://www.ncleg.net) and then comment on it.
