NCDP Chair David Parker



Every time we've allowed voter restrictions like the poll tax or literacy tests in North Carolina, we've seen one result: legal voters stripped of their dignity and the full rights of their citizenship, and turned away from the polling place.

Now, Republicans in the General Assembly have served up a voter suppression bill for our generation. They say it's aimed at stopping fraud, but we've been here before. And the last time it took nearly a hundred years and the civil rights movement to put things right again.


The Voter ID Bill isn't about fraud -- it's fiction. It’s an expensive, complicated solution to an imaginary problem.

This bill will keep a lot of good people who would never think about cheating their neighbors from voting. And those who want to game the system will just find another way to do it.

It's up to us to stop this bill from becoming a law. Sign this petition and demand that the Voter ID Bill be stopped.

Join us and add your name to the list of North Carolinian's ready to Stop the Voter ID Bill.
