A good idea by the Biden administration and previously not attempted.

Ok, so adequately justify the decision. I'm here challenging it.  The same law applies to EVERYONE in the state, and EVERY voter in the state of North Carolina.  

That's a good indicator that it does NOT target blacks since it applies to everyone equally.  

Now then, you can explain how it targets blacks, since you are siding with the decision, or fail miserably to do so, as is the usual result with you.  

I really couldn't care less, but quit whining like a little pussy because I'm challenging the decision that these judges made.  In other words, if your mouth can't back up your assertions, well that falls in the category of too bad for You now doesn't it?  


And you demand that we fulfill your meaningless challenges, or somehow our opinions don't matter all the time

Well, once again, I will correct you.  

Its called a forum to debate.  If you are incapable of offering up any semblance of a reason to show how this law that was passed in the legislature is somehow racist and targets blacks only, that's your problem and your lack of brainpower to do so.  

So don't blame me for your mental insufficiencies, and quit whining that I'm here challenging your courts.

"Legislators had requested data on what types of IDs were most prevalent by race, then wrote the rules to allow the types of IDs white people were more likely to have and ban the types of IDs Black people were more likely to have."
"Just like the 2013 law, the 2018 law also was intended to harm Black people’s ability to vote, the Supreme Court ruled Friday. The court said the rules the legislature came up with resulted in a scenario in which nearly 10% of Black voters statewide would lack an acceptable ID, compared to just 4.5% of white voters. There was also no pressing reason to pass a voter ID law, Earls wrote, since voter fraud is virtually nonexistent."

A new low has now been set for the behavior of former officeholders everywhere.  Fred Trump would be very proud.
