Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down North Carolina Voter ID Law

WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Friday struck down a NorthCarolina law that would have required voters to show photo identification when casting their ballots in the November presidential election.

Critics argue that the North Carolina law, like similar provisions in other U.S. states, disproportionately impacts minorities and poor people who do not have drivers’ licenses or other forms of state-issued identification. (Reporting by Andy Sullivan)
