They Get the Message the Republicans Are Sending

The scene in the NC House chamber yesterday as the Republican majority (with five Democrats, caught in the GOP eddy) voted for a law that will require photo ID in order to cast an in-person vote. (No proof of identity required if you vote by mail-in absentee ballot, which shows you that this measure is not about truthful elections but about crippling certain segments of the electorate.)

NOTE
We're back to Five Goobers, as five Democrats ended up voting for the bill on passage: William D. Brisson of Dublin, Ken Goodman of Rockingham, Charles Graham of Lumberton, Paul Tine of Kitty Hawk and Ken Waddell of Chadbourn.
