A lawyer for the state of North Carolina sent a letter to Judicial Watch, informing them of remarks made by a speaker at a recent NAACP conference in the state. The speaker was encouraging audience members to deliberately mislead voters by telling them they don’t have to register before voting or that they don’t have to vote at a specific polling place. The plan is to use the resulting chaos, confusion, and animosity to further the NAACP’s joint fight with Attorney General Eric Holder against North Carolina’s voter ID law, which they charge is “racist.” The letter states: “It is also our understanding that during the [NAACP conference], Rev. Barber urged those in attendance to take unregistered voters to vote during the Early Voting period and to engage in get-out-the vote activities that included transporting registered voters to vote in precincts in which they are not assigned to vote on Election Day, or words to that effect. The stated purpose for these activities, as I understand it, was to gather evidence for and thereby enhance plaintiffs prospects of success in the litigation involving [North Carolina’s Election Integrity Laws].” If these comments prove true, they will show how baseless the left’s arguments against voter ID really are, that they must actively engage in deceiving their own community to manufacture outrage and “evidence” of voter suppression. In truth, the only voter suppression would be their own actions. Voter ID laws are not “racist.” In fact, the only thing racist about voter ID laws is the left’s argument against them, which assumes minorities are somehow less capable of obtaining a free ID card than white people are, which is nothing more than the soft bigotry of low expectations. Voter fraud really is an issue, one that effects more than 1,000,000 votes nationwide and can certainly impact results in close elections. It would not be a surprise if this same plan from the NAACP in North Carolina is also being put in place in other swing states with close races. However, the vast majority of American people recognize the problem of voter fraud and support voter ID laws designed only to protect the integrity of our electoral system by making sure that each registered voter is who he says that he is.
