NC Judge Upholds Voter ID Law

0:00A federal judge in North Carolina has upheld the state's photo voter identification law, turning down claims from civil rights groups that had targeted. Black and Latino voters unfairly. The law came from Republican leaders back in late 2018, right after voters passed a constitutional amendment supporting it. North Carolina Supreme Court backed it to in 2023. This ruling marks a major win for supporters, especially since the ID requirement first hit municipal elections in the fall of 2023. It then covered more than 5,700,000 registered voters during the November 2024 presidential and governor, races. About 1,500,000 people also used it in the March 3rd primary this year in the country's ninth largest state by population. While the NAACP and others behind the challenge can still appeal, the decision keeps the law in place for now, shaping how elections run moving forward. This has been Canada News Today, powered by AI.
