In a landmark decision, a federal judge strikes down North Carolina’s controversial felony voting law, calling it discriminatory.
Key Points:
- Ruling prohibits district attorneys from enforcing law penalizing felons voting without full eligibility.
- Law, dating back to 1877, disproportionately impacted Black voters and remained largely unchanged.
- Plaintiffs argued law disenfranchised Black voters; judge concurred, citing historical bias and vague enforcement.
