DNC threatens to sue North Carolina elections board over plan to purge 100,000 voters
The Democratic National Committee is threatening to sue the North Carolinaboard of elections if they go forward with plans to purge almost 100,000 voters from the rolls.
The state elections board – with a new Republican majority – voted at its 24 June meeting to require registered voters to cast provisional ballots if they have not provided their driver’s license number, last four digits of their social security number or an identification number supplied by the state.
…. Democratic leaders claim the order and the board’s response to it is unconstitutional, and argue the change has partisan purposes.
…. “Critically, even if a voter on this list casts a provisional ballot and provides their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their social security number, their ballot will only be counted if the numbers provided are deemed ‘correct’,” the letter states. “By requiring voters to cast provisional ballots that may not be counted, the plan effectively removes registrants from the official list of eligible voters.”
So the Democrats’ complaint is that their voters’ merely supplying a false ID will no longer be sufficient; those pesky Republicans are now demanding that the ID be authentic and actually verified. Oh, the humanity!
One can sympathize with the Democrats; North Carolina is a battle state, and every illegal vote is crucial if they are to regain total control of the political machine, but sympathy does not necessarily mean approval; in fact, thinking on it, screw ‘em.
