This is absurd. There is not a single aspect of the new election law in NC that is unique. Eliminating Same Day Registration and Voting puts NC back into the vast majority of U.S. states that do NOT allow this fraud-friendly "mechanism." Also, reducing the number of early voting days from 17 to 10 (while keeping the 100 hours of poll-open time as was previously available)is no hardship compared to many liberal states where NO early is allowed, let alone 10 days. How can that be discriminat5ory in NC, but okay in NY, MA, RI, MI, IL and other so-called "blue states?"

Can you, Mr. Pizzo, point to a single case in which someone was convicted of voter fraud as a result of same day registration?

>>> Absolutely. That, AND voting "dead people" AND people who like to vote in multiple states in the same federal election, AND illegals aliens who find their way onto citizen voting rolls.....
Before you ask me any more questions, answer one for me: "Why did you delete my prior comment?
Plus, I am saving and sending screen shots to show what lying phony you are....just like the guy in the WH and his employees at the IRS, NSA, EPA, and others.

Please do. We deleted no "prior comment" of yours. We do not do that here. We have a very few rules for posting comments at The BRAD BLOG. The only comments we delete are commercial spam and, on occassion, when someone who has violated the rules, has ignored several generous warnings about it, and then somehow slips around the moderate filter to post again. Even then, however, we tend to post a note that we've removed a comment as a place holder (other than in cases of absolutely egregious spamming).

I'll hope you have better evidence for those other claims you offered about "voter fraud" than you do for the claim you just leveled against The BRAD BLOG. But you've yet to post any.

As to your other suggestions, you're right, NC was more progressive in its voting laws than some of the state's you mentioned. But, as in Prop 8 in CA, rights granted cannot be taken away --- or abridged as the U.S. Constitution describes --- without a compelling governmental reason.

Without evidence that removing the rights of NC voters is necessary --- such as to prevent fraud (the state has offered ZERO evidence to that effect) --- the removal of those rights would seem in violation of the Constitution, as well as of the Voting Rights Act, since clearly they are meant to be discriminatory.

How amusing! When asked whether he can point to a single case of someone who was convicted of in-person voter fraud as the result of same day registration, John Puzzo @3 says, "Absolutely," and then fails to either link or point to a single case in which that occurred!

Indeed, Puzzo goes on to resurrect the "dead people" voting myth.

Here's a piece of fact-based reality, Mr. Puzzo:
