Appeals court knocks down photo ID vote requirement in North Carolina

Portland Press Herald

A federal appeals court has found that a North Carolina voter ID law was enacted “with discriminatory intent” and must be blocked. An opinion by a three-judge panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond reverses a lower-court’s ruling that had upheld the law. The 2013 rewrite to voting laws in North Carolina required photo identification to cast in-person ballots and made other changes.
