Preface: Didn’t see where this has been posted as of yet (if so lemme know and I’ll pull this thread if it’s a dupe)


More liberal heads exploding …

“… North Carolina Supreme Court on Friday threw out a previous ruling against gerrymandered voting maps and upheld a photo voter identification law that colleagues had struck down as racially biased.”



In its decision today, the Court returns to its tradition of honoring the constitutional roles assigned to each branch,” Newby wrote. “This case is not about partisan politics, but rather about realigning the proper roles of the judicial and legislative branches.


On convicted felons being able to vote (which 56,000 did in last NC election):

It is not unconstitutional to insist that felons pay their debt to society as a condition of participating in the electoral process,” Allen wrote.
 
I'm thrilled at this news. We also get to draw the voting district boundaries again, so that's an extra 4-5 house seats for the Republicans in 24 and whoever is planning to take over for Tillis in the senate should have an easier go of it.
