Yeah, that is the thing about rights. The majority can't vote to take them from you.

That's foolish.

No one removed The right to vote.. The govt requires you to show ID to board a plane, collect welfare, drive or register a car, or pickup a package..

It's interesting that suddenly once it comes to voting, people that the government says can't be trusted to do the above are beacons of truth and morality and questioning that is a symbol of the evil empire attempting to put people in slavery.

This is another case of judicial activism.

North Carolina of course has a long, long history of impeding the people's right to vote.

Ahhh...

so the judges should legislate based upon some perceived or alleged past grievances..

I'll proffer that if it was a bill you agreed with, you might be ok with signing it quickly, so that you can later find out what's in it.

So somehow you have jumped right to putting words in my mouth? That seems rude.

To proffer: something proposed for acceptance by another

You think things are rude because you aren't looking at things truthfully, either because you don't know, or don't care to think about them, or you simply agree with something regardless because it fits a certain agenda or narrative.

So anyway, like I was saying, North Carolina has a long history of using various administrative procedures to ensure people could not vote.
