Local TV stations featured reports about today’s “Stop Photo ID: Respect My Vote” Lobby Day in Raleigh and other developments in the debate over requiring North Carolina voters to show an ID each time they vote. WRAL-TV’s coverage included an interview with Rep. Tim Moore (R-Cleveland County) who said Republicans plan to introduce a strict photo ID bill next week. The TV station posted the entire press conference of lawmakers and students opposing the ID on its website. Channel 14 featured an interview with State Board of Elections indicating that hundreds of thousands of voters do not have a current NC driver’s license or state ID card. ABC/WTVD’s coverage included interviews with the League of Women Voters and others opposed to the photo ID law. More stories from the people who would be disenfranchised by a photo ID law are posted on a special page of Democracy North Carolina’s website.

I have sent a letter to my state representative and I have urged him to implement this law to prevent election fraud. Any perceived problems raised by nattering nabobs of negativity can be solved.
