NAACP and Leaugue of Women Voters Sue North Carolina Governor over Substantive Election Law | Eastern North Carolina Now

    As to why the NAACP and the League of Women Voters have filed separate complaints against the North Carolina Governor and the State Board of Elections due to HB 589 being signed into law on Monday, August 12, 2013, it could be that North Carolina is a political "battle ground" state, on the cusp between "red and blue." Regardless of the reason, the League of Women Voters, and the NAACP filed in the Federal District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.

    In short, these special interest groups are asserting that the state of North Carolina, in this just signed legislation by Governor Pat McCrory into law, is designed to restrict minorities, primarily Blacks, from participating in the electorate because of the new restriction that all North Carolina voters will have to possess a free photo identification card. Also, included within the law is that all voters must be a legal resident of the state, and that the "no excuse" absentee voting period has been shortened from 17 days to 10 days prior to the election.

    This bold move by these special interest factions within the Democrat Party must have been telegraphed to their favored politicians ahead of the governor signing HB 589 into law due to North Carolina's highest elected Democrats: Senator Kay Hagan and Attorney General Roy Cooper making such a public display of ambivalence toward the dictates of their elected jobs.

    Regardless, it will be an interesting court case to determine what lies within the constitutional rights of our Republic's citizens in regards to participating in the electoral process, and the citizen's innate responsibility to protect that constitutionally guaranteed right.

At the first blush of reading the complaint, there is no mention of Trayvon.

Thank God for small favors.
