NC lawmakers planning to vote on a constitutional amendment that could block 300k eligible voters

NC lawmakers are planning to vote on a constitutional amendment that could block 300k eligible voters. Call & tell your rep to vote NO: 919-883-4528

"... recent comments by a Republican legislator, as reported by the Charlotte Observer, indicate that the battle over voter ID laws in North Carolina is not yet over. In a Facebook chat with constituents, Rep. Bob Steinburg, R-Chowan, proposed three constitutional amendments to declare that the state income tax would never rise over 5.5%, to protect hunting and fishing rights, and to require voter ID in North Carolina elections. These can be approved during the NCGA short session in May and presented to voters on the ballot in November. Polls suggest that a voter ID amendment would pass, given public support (without specifying the types of acceptable ID).

This issue is more than just theoretical. It is likely that the confusion and legal wrangling over the previous voter ID law was enough to depress turnout amongst African American voters.

Are you in favor of the constitutional amendments being proposed by legislators? Because this could come up for a legislative vote in May, contact your NCGA legislators soon to let them know what you think. If the NCGA passes these proposals, NC voters will vote them up or down in November. If this issue matters to you, make sure your voice is heard at the ballot box this year!"
