Alternet: “North Carolina Supreme Court justices found that GOP lawmakers “acted unconstitutionally” by implementing two voter suppression tactics to “intentionally” hinder Black voters, The News & Observer reports.

Both verdicts were fully supported by four Democratic justices, and voted against by three Republican justices.”
