N Carolina Cons take away voter rights, SB 666 w/$2,500 fine?
Despite no inkling of voter fraud in the state, Republicans introduced the following bills this week:
•HB 451 and SB 428: Cut a full week from the early voting period.
•HB 451 and SB 428: Repeal same-day voter registration during the early voting period.
•HB 451: Bans all early voting on Sundays.
•SB 666: Prohibits the child dependency tax deduction ($2,500) for parents if their child registers to vote at a different address, such as the town or city where they attend school.
•SB 666: Allows poll observers to move about more freely in the polling place, which creates more opportunities to intimidate poll workers and voters.
•SB 721: Requires strict government-issued photo ID to vote.
•SB 721: Enforces a 5-year waiting period, after a person convicted of a felony has served their time, before they can get their voting rights back (having their rights restored must also be approved unanimously by their county board of elections).
•SB 668: Amends the state constitution to disqualify voters deemed “mentally incompetent.”

No evidence of voter fraud whatsoever, so this is an obvious ploy to suppress the vote of people most likely to vote the Democratic ticket.
Otherwise, why is it only the Republicans that want to limit voting hours, discourage college kids from voting, impose ID demands, etc? Think about it.

The first three are fine if it is for both predominately Republicans and predominately Democratic districts and not just for one party.
The fourth one is silly. The fifth one is iffy.. The last one is questionable. Who gets to deem voters to be 'mentally incompetent'?.

Most of that will be found unconstitutional. It is just another move by the Republicans hoping they can win if they can disenfranchise enough of the voters who tend to go Democrat. I guess they cannot see there way to trying to come to the views of most Americans so that they can get elected by appealing to most voters.

"Allows poll observers to move about more freely in the polling place, which creates more opportunities to intimidate poll workers and voters."
LOL, who wrote that? They could've passed it for anything.

And IF, just IF there were voter fraud, who exactly would be the beneficiary? If elections were TOTALLY legit, who would it hurt?

I see no problem with those. Do you have a bank account? Do you HAVE to show ID to get money out of it? OMG, they're taking away your RIGHTS!
Poll observers have never bothered or intimidated me.
Why should the bank require an ID from you to get money?????? Could it be that someone PRETENDING to be you might take some of your money????
