Stop Governor McCrory from passing restrictive voting laws
We believe the right to vote and to have your vote counted is an essential American freedom, and we oppose laws that place unnecessary restrictions on those seeking to exercise that freedom.
Why is this important?
GOP Governor Pat McCrory is planning to sign into law a tough voter ID law amoug the first pieces of state legistation. In conjunction with these new voting restrictions, Republicans all across the South used their control of state legislatures following 2010 to pass redistricting maps that will lead to new voting restrictions placing as many Democratic lawmakers into as few “majority minority” districts as possible as a way to maximize the number of Republican seats.
