Citizen Times: NC court invalidates new amendments
A Wake County court on Friday struck down two state constitutional amendments approved by voters in November, including one that mandated voters show ID at the polls, ruling that the General Assembly was “illegally constituted” because of gerrymandering.
In a case brought by the NC NAACP, Superior Court Judge G. Byron Collins ruled that an “unconstitutionally racially-gerrymandered General Assembly” could not place constitutional amendments on the ballot for ratification, calling its ability to do so an “unsettled question of state law.”
