North Carolina Republicans are not hiding the fact that newly proposed [2013] voting restrictions are aimed at making it harder for Democrats to vote. As North Carolina’s House Majority Leader Edgar Starnes put it, \u201cThe Republicans won the election. We are in control. We intend to elect Republicans and appoint Republicans, and we make no apology for it.\u201d [North Carolina elected a Republican-dominated state legislature in 2010\u2014the first time that has happened since McKinley was president\u2014and a Republican governor in 2012. Clearly, they are savoring the victory, with a vengeance\u2014literally.]<\/p>\n
OK, that\u2019s about as blatant as it gets. So, exactly how do they intend to accomplish their goal? Here\u2019s the plan\u2014a seven-point program, proposed earlier this year, and scheduled for further pursuit following the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act, under which many of these restrictions would most likely have been struck down.<\/p>\n
