The lieutenant governor and the N.C. Senate’s powerful Rules Committee chairman are taking aim at the left-wing group leading the charge against voter ID in North Carolina. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and Sen. Bill Rabon, R-Brunswick, issued statements Wednesday, April 21, criticizing the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. Robinson and Rabon specifically referenced the coalition’s attacks on former state Sen. Joel Ford. Ford is a black Democrat. He was a lead sponsor in 2018 of the law designed to implement a photo identification requirement for N.C. voters. Last month, the Senate elected Ford, 45-3, to serve on the University of North Carolina System Board of Governors.
