“Bad News for Voter ID Foes”

AmericanThinker and the Blaze discuss the findings on voter turnout and impact in the NC primary election under the new law.  How does a court potentially grant a preliminary injunction requested by DOJ on a law when the turnout of minority is up almost 30%, and with other voters up approximately 15%. 

[A] study [is] showing not only more voters overall, but an increase in black voter turnout especially, after the law’s implementation.

The findings came before a scheduled hearing next week where the U.S. Justice Department will ask a U.S. District Court for an injunction against the law going into the November midterms. The Obama administration has argued that such a law will make it more difficult for minorities to vote.

Comparing May 4, 2010 North Carolina primary election data with the May 14, 2014 primary data, the study found that voter turnout increased across the board, but particularly among black voters, where it increased by 29.5 percent, compared to an increase of white voter turnout of 13.7 percent. The findings were based on Census Bureau data and public names who signed the voter rolls.
