The Justice Department is filing suit against North Carolina today over the state’s new voting law. The lawsuit will challenge provisions forcing voters to present a government-issued photo ID at the polls, shrinking early voting by a week, eliminating same-day registration, and limiting provisional ballots cast outside a voter’s home precinct. The North Carolina measure was one the first set of voting restrictions passed by a state since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in June. Attorney General Eric Holder is also expected to seek a new ruling that would force North Carolina to receive pre-clearance for changes to its voting laws.
