North Carolina's Supreme Court dealt a huge blow to voting rights in three separate rulings. Here's what can come next.
that summer, a broad coalition of women, students, African Americans and churches challenged the ID requirement and other voter suppression tactics in N.C. NAACP vs. McCrory. And we won. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld a lower court’s opinion that the voter ID requirement they had tried to impose targeted African Americans with “almost surgical precision.”
If America is to reclaim democracy and achieve a Third Reconstruction, it must repent of its sin of overlooking the South. For far too long, Democrats have ceded races in the South by buying into the myth that they are “red states.” Southern states are not red states, but unorganized states where a fusion coalition of Black, white and brown people working together for democracy can win even statewide elections.
