In North Carolina, citizens aren’t leaving the field of debate to politicians and activists.  The 75% are stepping up.

As the state House
begins moving toward a voter ID bill, a public hearing Wednesday brought
out strong support for the measure, which requires voters to produce a
government-approved photograph at voting places.

Unlike a previous
hearing which brought out numerous critics of the proposal, dozens of
speakers this time argued that voter fraud was more widespread than
surveys have suggested, and that requiring photos would increase public
confidence in the electoral process.
