NC Governor Pat McCrory Signs Voter ID Bill Into Law

Voters will now have to show a picture ID at the polls in North Carolina, which Democrats correctly see for what it is: an attempt to keep people away who will likely vote Democratic.

The measure signed by McCrory also reduces the early voting period by a week, ends early voting on Sunday, ends same-day voter registration, and does away with pre-registration of 16 and 17-year olds.

“North Carolinians overwhelmingly support a common sense law that requires voters to present photo identification in order to cast a ballot,” McCrory said in a statement. “I am proud to sign this legislation into law. Common practices like boarding an airplane and purchasing Sudafed require photo ID and we should expect nothing less for the protection of our right to vote.”

North Carolina becomes one of 34 states with some form of voter ID law.

1. Unfortunately for McCrory, voter ID won't save him.

His has pissed of most of the moderates that elected him and he'll be running in a presidential year (2016).

2. Let's see here: Voter ID not a violation of the 15th Amendment

but background checks for gun buyers, an assault on the 2nd Amendment.

3. Maybe they should bring guns to NC polls

Nothing speaks louder.

4. Sure, why not.

The General Assembly just passed a law allowing guns in bars.
