The new Jim Crow. Just tossing out ballots that you don't like. All these laws in the book to challenge ballots need to be repealed. The idea that somebody can cast their vote on election day (presenting their proper identification) only then to have it challenged/tossed is completely proposterous.
"In North Carolina, the Republican candidate for a State Supreme Court seat has refused to concede to the Democratic incumbent, even though two recounts by a state elections board confirmed that he lost the November election by a few hundred votes.
...Judge Griffin wanted the ballots of roughly 65,000 people to be tossed; he argued that a majority of them were ineligible to vote because they did not supply certain required personal data — such as a driver’s license number — when they registered. But the omissions, he admitted, were because of administrative errors, and not the voters’ fault.
Voting rights experts have described the issues raised by Judge Griffin as moot because even if the voters’ registration forms were missing driver’s license numbers, they would have been required to show ID when they voted."
