under the NC elections bill it would take 6 of 8 votes to get anything done /2

the NC bill strips or makes more difficult appeals to the state Supreme court raising constitutional claims /3

I haven't had time to study whole NC bill, but potential Voting Rights Act and federal constitutional violations, so back to fed court /4

and potentially before same 4th Circuit panel that found last NC voting bill was passed with racially discriminatory intent /5

In short, this is the definition of chutzpah, and court packing plan was apparently a distraction, though it could also still come 6/6

Aside from writing to our representatives in the legislature (already done), how do NC's citizens fight this?

calling them is more effective than writing

also show up in person if possible:https://twitter.com/ncnaacp/status/809199352354836480 …

the @ncnaacp is organizing resistance - follow them!

What the hell? So pretty much they're saying...since we didn't win, we'll just change the rules to make sure we do in the future

That's what they've been doing since the Johnson administration... 150 years ago.

If this ends up passing through courts, GOP will do this in every state they can, and we'll really become a one-party system.
