The voting period is one month in California. The Registrar sends my ballot one month before the election, and I can mail it back to them during that month.
I'm there with you regarding the Electoral College. When has it ever done anything but confuse the election results? In Oregon, we are entirely vote by mail. Also, when a person gets their driver's license at the DMV, they can also register to vote at the same time. Voting issues are very few. We never have problems with access. Paper ballots trace-ablility is in place to check in case there are questions. Bipartisan support is well over 75%. I'm mystified why other states are so backward when it comes to voting.Which NC laws were written to exclude Blacks ? That is a foolish Governor, because that is clearly unconstitutional. I find that hard to believe but easy to see it`s being exaggerated. No way. No way they did that.
To simplify Voting, abolish the Electoral College (it`s not needed anymore) and because we went from 10 million citizens when the Constitution was written to 350 million today, extend the time period from a day to a week or at least three days.

Except, it is used by people in power to deny voters the ability to refresh the leadership and replace it with people from their own communities.
Anyway, to answer your question, which laws were written, here is an article that details 5 states who have had their restrictive laws thrown out. Texas, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Kansas and North Dakota have all had restrictive laws struck by courts. Note that the NC ruling specifically stated the law restricts voters in a deliberately racially biased manner to fix a problem that does not exist.
As November Approaches, Courts Deal Series Of Blows To Voter ID Laws

All summer long, the clock has been ticking on voting rights cases. Judges don't like to change voting rules too near an election, and November is creeping ever closer.
And the past two weeks, in particular, have been eventful: Five courts in five states ruled against voter ID and proof-of-citizenship laws.
There's still time for appeals and stays. But for now, advocates for voting access are celebrating.
North Carolina
On July 29, a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned North Carolina's sweeping voter ID law (which included a host of other voting restrictions, including shortening the early voting period and banning same-day registration).
And — unlike in Texas — the appeals court ruled that North Carolina legislators had actually passed the law with discriminatory intent.
As the Two-Way reported then, "The appeals court noted that the North Carolina Legislature 'requested data on the use, by race, of a number of voting practices' — then, data in hand, 'enacted legislation that restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected African Americans.' "
The court wrote that the changes to the voting process "target African Americans with almost surgical precision," and "impose cures for problems that did not exist."
attempting to explain even something fairly simple and straightforward like this to you would be about as pointless as explaining string theory to a dog.How did it dispro however that`s spelled,.. effect the African American ? Saying it did without saying why is corrupt off the bat.

and seeing as how you are a certified and avowed jew-hating, homphobic, racist who drops racial slurs like "nog" regularly, you wouldn't even care.
cram a sears catalog up your ass.

Why make it harder to register to vote when the real problems with fraud occur at the voting station? Vote by mail is the best way, no lines, ballot can be filled out at the breakfast table with a cup of coffee, internet available for information, not shitty old tech machines, no going across town, and paper ballots are kept to check in case fraud is suspected. In other words, why make voting harder when not enough people vote anyway. By the way, states that use vote by mail systems have higher voter turn out.
Never heard of a politician in Oregon complain about it. Only complaints that I've ever heard of are from the states that actively seek to exclude specific groups.That`s all fine with me. And I`m sure the rest of the population, trouble is, it`s not fine with the candidates.

What is a "right to partition"?If there is that many, they should exercise their Right to partition. Out em.

With the repeal of federal oversight to changes in the election process, NC took the first chance it got to change laws to favor Republicans.The Stuporant one.
The fucking court is wrong in this case. Using that courts logic, they are saying that Blacks can`t open a bank account, buy a gun, get fucking married or prove it`s their kid, or sign up for health insurance.
But instead, they limit this ID mandate to Voting because it effects the Government and not the individual.
Why is it when a Photo ID law effects the individual it`s OK but when it effects everybody, Photo ID`s are a bad thing ?

Listen to the Republican party operative admit to crafting the law to favor Reoublicans. What about the consequences from that? Come on man! Don't give me that Shit!
