Supreme Court Declines To Hear NC Voter ID Case

Sno Shuu

The Supreme Court announced this morning that it will not review North Carolina’s controversial 2013 voter ID law. 

This leaves in place a ruling by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals last summer that struck down the law, citing that certain provisions target African-Americans “with almost surgical precision.” Republican lawmakers appealed the ruling.

This was a big election law with some very substantial provisions...It seems more likely that the Supreme Court will take a case more narrow in scope than North Carolina's- Jeff Tiberii
