Democrats cheer after 73,000 N. Carolina voters without proper ID are allowed to stay on voter rolls

Democrats are taking a victory lap after North Carolina’s electoral board came to an agreement on improperly identified voters.

In 2024, the Republican National Committee and the North Carolina GOP sued election officials, claiming that 250,000 registered voters lacked proper identification. “The voters in question did not provide the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers or an attestation that they had neither on their registrations,” Fox News reported.

It was requested that these voters be removed from the rolls, and that any votes cast in the 2024 election to be invalidated. However, the board was only willing to admit that 100,000 of the voters were improperly registered, a number which shrunk to 73,000 on Monday. These voters were allowed additional time to update their identification before they are officially removed from the rolls.

Naturally, Democrats cheered the decision and accused Republicans of attempting to “disenfranchise voters.”

“This latest victory is a win for Americans and yet another blow to the Republicans’ scheme to disenfranchise voters ahead of the midterm elections,” said Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin in a statement.

“Monday’s agreement allows those voters to stay on the voter rolls, with their information to be updated when they cast a ballot,” Fox noted.

This decision comes as Democrats continue to fight the SAVE Act, aimed at securing America’s elections and preventing fraud. As BizPac Review previously reported, high-profile leftists like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Adam Schiff have been accusing Republicans of attempting to “disenfranchise” voters by expecting them to prove they are legally allowed to vote in the United States.

CNN’s Dana Bash asked Jeffries why he opposes voter ID, unlike 83% of Americans, including 71% of Democrats.

“The question is that what Republicans are trying to do is to engage in clear and blatant voter suppression. They know that if there‘s a free and fair election in November, they‘re going to lose. In fact, Republicans have been losing every single election since Donald Trump was sworn in in January of last year, including most recently, decisively in Texas. And of course, losing all across the country up and down the ballot in the November off-year elections in places like New Jersey or Virginia [or] New York,” he responded.

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-California, had a similar answer.

“What you’ve just asked is essentially, Republicans have created distrust of the elections by making claims of non-existent fraud in the elections, and shouldn’t we use the distrust they’ve created in order to enact a voter suppression law, which is the SAVE Act, which would require people to have a birth certificate or passport, documents that millions of Americans don’t have. Almost half the country doesn’t have a passport, and I don’t know where many millions of people would find a birth certificate. So, no,” he said.

“It’s still going to be something that disenfranchises people that don’t have the proper REAL ID, driver’s license ID, that don’t have the ID necessary to vote, even though they are citizens. This is simply another way to try to suppress the vote,” Schiff claimed.
