We have known for a couple of days that the Department of Justice planned to sue North Carolina, as it has sued the state of Texas, over new voting laws. What we didn't have information on is the extent of the suit.
Here is the latest information:
"The suit, set to be filed in Greensboro,
N.C., will ask that the state be barred from enforcing the new voter-ID
law, the source said. However, the case will also go further, demanding
that the entire state of North Carolina be placed under a requirement to
have all changes to voting laws, procedures and polling places
"precleared" by either the Justice Department or a federal court, the
source added."
Good start. Now let's extend the voting rights preclearance requirement to all fifty states.
