North Carolina Fail to Enact Strict Voting Law

The supreme court on Wednesday was in a 4-to-4 deadlock on letting North Carolina enforce strict voting laws. The federal court saw these laws unconstitutional as these laws were an effort to target African Americans. Governor Pat McCrory who is up for re-election believes that his states has been denied basic voting rights that other states have been approved for. The North Carolina law had five parts that were struck down: its voter ID requirements, a rollback of early voting 10 10 days from17, an elimination same-day registration and of preregistration of some teenagers, and the ban of counting votes casted in the wrong precinct.
