During day two of a trial in a lawsuit challenging North Carolina’s voter identification law, Senate Republicans highlighted supportive comments uttered by Democrats when the General Assembly approved the law in 2018.
“Lawyers for the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, a left-wing legal organization, have attempted to characterize the law and those who backed it as ‘racist,’ even though the law was sponsored by an African American Democrat,” according to a news release from Sen. Paul Newton, R-Cabarrus.
“They’ve also alleged, improbably, that the bill’s backers, including an African American Democrat, sought to ‘entrench’ Republican majorities through a partisan legislative process,” Newton’s release added.
