   RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina judges struck down the state's latest   
   photo   
   voter identification law on Friday, agreeing with minority voters that   
   Republicans rammed through rules tainted by racial bias as a way to remain in   
   power.   
      
   Two of the three trial judges declared the December 2018 law is   
   unconstitutional, even though it was designed to implement a photo voter ID   
   mandate added to the North Carolina Constitution in a referendum just weeks   
   earlier. They said the law intentionally discriminates against Black voters,   
   violating their equal protections.   
      
   The law "was motivated at least in part by an unconstitutional intent to target   
   African American voters," Superior Court Judges Michael O'Foghludha and Vince   
   Rozier wrote in their 100-page majority opinion.

   Of course that was the intent.  Republiscum/QAnon officials have *bragged*   
   about it.   
      
   The post-2020 Republiscum/QAnon voting restrictions laws are voter suppression,   
   nearly all of it racially targeted.  This is not in rational dispute.
