North Carolina Democrat Governor and AG fight local voter ID laws

Here and here, the North Carolina Attorney General and Governor are alleging that local voter ID laws being passed by counties across the state may raise state constitutional issues of uniformity and equal protection.  Some counties in North Carolina have resorted to grassroots passage of local voter ID laws in response to the veto of Governor Perdue.  Republicans need just a few Democrat legislators to support the voter ID law and override Perdue’s veto.  Thus far, it seems to be a party-line standoff.  

Both NC Attorney General Roy Cooper and Governor Bev Perdue are Democrats and apparently raising every roadblock feasible to oppose implementation of a voter ID law in the state.
