Despite court rulings that North Carolina voter ID laws were unconstitutional, Republicans have not rested in their efforts to suppress voter turnout across the state.
N.C. GOP Executive Director Dallas Woodhouse made it crystal clear in his “CONFIDENTIAL” email to county board of elections members last weekend that their goal is to put as many limitations on ballot access as possible.
The Republicans understand that the only way they can win this November is by further disenfranchising African-American voters in any way possible.
They can’t win on their merits, so they’re trying to win on a technicality.
We cannot stand by idly while the Republicans in office distort the Constitution and purposely try to discourage minority voter participation.
For this reason, in November, I will be voting for Democrats who have fought for my rights tirelessly and encouraged democracy through advocating for increased voter participation.
