The North Carolina Supreme Court has rejected a civil rights group’s request to eliminate proposed constitutional amendmendts on a voter photo identification requirement and a cap on state and income taxes.

 

The justices denied a motion by the North Carolina NAACP which sought to block those amendments. 

 

The Supreme Court still has before it arguments from Governor Roy Cooper and legislative leaders regarding two constitutional amendments that would switch many judicial appointments from the govenor to the General Assembly and restructuring of the state elections board.

 

Two constitutional amendments addressing crime victims’ rights and hunting and fishing have not been challenged.
