Gov. Pat McCrory  will ask the Supreme Court to weigh in on the voter ID law Wednesday.

 

McCrory made the announcement during Donald Trump’s rally in Wilmington Tuesday afternoon.

 

“There are thirty other states in the United States…over thirty other states…that know common sense shows you show an ID when you vote,” McCrory told the crowd. “Right? One person, one vote. That should be our rules.”

 

A 4th Circuit panel had determined a 2013 law Republicans approved amounted to intentional discrimination of black voters.

 

Last week, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a stay after state leaders’ attorneys requested that the ruling be set aside as they ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case The order says the harm to disenfranchised voters outweighs granting a delay. 

 

Unless the U.S Supreme Court intervenes, last week’s injunction means no voter ID mandate and 17 days of early voting with same-day registration.
