I want to flag this. There could be a procedural explanation but it appears the NC lawmaker we're fundraising for tonight voted for the bad NC voter ID bill.

HB 589 - Voter Information Verification: Establishes the Voter Information Verification Act to promote the electoral process through education and increased registration of voters and requires voters to provide photo identification before voting to protect the right of each registered voter to cast a secure vote with reasonable security measures that confirm voter identity as accurately as possible without restriction. Introduced by Rep. Harry Warren, R-Rowan. Adopted 81-36. Sent to the Senate for consideration.
YES: Riddell, Ross
