Last week, US Court of Appeals, ruled NC residents could register on the same day they voted (in early voting). It put the minds of many NC voters at ease. Now that SCOTUS just changed the ruling today, two days before the NC registration deadline, this will cost many North Carolinians their right to vote because they didn't know about the newest ruling/deadline. This is what voter suppression looks like.
The NC Republicans are most likely terrified of losing their seats, due to the state's growing citizens protest called, Moral Monday. The GOP will call in every favor and pull every stop before election day. I have believed, ever since attending several Moral Mondays, that the only way the GOP can win in NC, is if they do it dishonestly - and they are doing just that. Today's SCOTUS ruling, blocking the appeal for same day registration, along with the Koch/AFP misleading voting fraud packets that were sent out to over 100,000 NC voters, the GOP might succeed in cheating their way into, once again, owning the majority in the House, Senate, NC Supreme Court, and Governor's seat.
Last week, the Supreme Court made a similar ruling in Ohio, and this will most likely happen in other states, mostly causing 'confusion' and voting suppression, especially suppressing the black vote.
What to do? Share this news. Encourage everyone you know to go register NOW. Don't wait for same day registration. Expect the GOP to try everything they can to suppress voting. Think about it - if they felt they were going to win by votes, they would do everything possible to help voters get out to the polls. Instead, they know much of the public has had it with Koch-sucking Republican obstruction, and they want change.
