RALEIGH – The North Carolina Republican Party is criticizing a federal court's recent decision blocking the state's new Voter ID law that was slated to take effect this year.
In a statement issued by the NCGOP, communications director Jeff Hauser said the court's ruling invalidates North Carolina voters' mandate to change the voter ID law.
"Unfortunately, this injunction is yet another example of judges legislating from the bench," Hauser said in a NCGOP Facebook post.
"This action, if it is allowed to stand, will invalidate the votes of millions of North Carolinians who voted overwhelmingly to implement voter ID and strengthen the integrity of N.C. elections," Hauser said. "The NCGOP calls on the Attorney General to appeal this decision and defend the voters of North Carolina."
