WNCN (CBS)<\/a> is reporting that a federal court has overturned North Carolina’s<\/a> voter identification law.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A federal appeals court has found that a North Carolina voter ID law<\/a> was enacted \u201cwith discriminatory intent\u201d and must be blocked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How in the world does the appeals court know the intent of the people who passed the law? The law required photo identification to vote. The law also provided a way for people who did not currently have photo identification to obtain it free of charge. I few political groups in the state offered to provide transportation to those seeking photo identification. The supposedly ‘disenfranchised voters’ are the same people who use photo identification to cash checks, buy alcohol, enroll in government programs, etc. No one is being disenfranchised.<\/p>\n

The article includes a quote from Francis De Luca, president of the Civitas Institute:<\/p>\n

North Carolina\u2019s common-sense voter ID law was passed to preserve the security and integrity of our elections process. North Carolina\u2019s voters deserve the confidence that their votes will not be diluted by fraud. Just before a crucial presidential election, the liberal judges of the Fourth Circuit<\/a> are once again legislating from the bench and seem to be looking for opportunities to overturn North Carolina law at every turn. The continual overreach of the courts like the Fourth Circuit undermines the belief in self-government through elected representatives and our democratic republic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is simply outrageous that the court cites race as a reason for overturning North Carolina\u2019s voter ID law. No one has been able to point to a single example of a voter being disenfranchised as a result of this law. In fact, voter turnout has increased<\/em> since the law was enacted.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If voter fraud is prevented in North Carolina, Donald Trump<\/a> wins. If voter fraud is allowed, Hillary Clinton wins. It seems as if the court has already voted.<\/p>\n

The following quote from the article echoes that sentiment:<\/p>\n

Rep. Tim Moore, N.C. Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore<\/a> Sen. Phil Berger<\/a> also disagreed with the ruling and issued a joint statement saying that the ruling will allow \u201cDemocrat<\/a> politicians\u201d to steal the upcoming election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since today\u2019s decision by three partisan Democrats ignores legal precedent, ignores the fact that other federal courts have used North Carolina\u2019s law as a model, and ignores the fact that a majority of other states have similar protections in place, we can only wonder if the intent is to reopen the door for voter fraud, potentially allowing fellow Democrat politicians like Hillary Clinton and Roy Cooper<\/a> to steal the election. We will obviously be appealing this politically-motivated decision to the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
