But lawyers for Republican lawmakers helping defend the law with state attorneys argued that Republicans wouldn’t have passed one of the most permissive voter ID laws among states that have them if they wanted to entrench themselves in state politics. They argued that the law is race-neutral and contains many more categories of qualifying ID than was allowed under a previously approved 2013 voter ID law that was struck down years ago.

You mean that 2013 law that you lot passed to do exactly what the other side said you were trying to do, but you got this one passed and that is because you are no longer trying to do that thing you were tying to do with that last attempt to pass a voter ID law?

This is coming from a rethug legislature that has already 'entrenched' itself in the state government. They cannot lose anything because the system is so rigged and biased that nothing short of a complete overhaul will fix it.

But, my fellow Tar Heels still have the same two choices in this matter.

Stand and fight, or lay down and take it.
