[VIDEO] Maxine Waters Slams New N.C. Voter ID Laws: N.C. Has ‘Just Gone Crazy’

(CNSNews.com) - During the National Urban League’s Redeem the Dream Summit on Friday, Rep. Maxine Waters said the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County v. Holder was a “slick, calculated dastardly decision,” and criticized North Carolina’s new voter ID laws, saying “North Carolina has just gone crazy.”

 It has passed legislation to require certain kinds of ID, restrict early voting and to end same-day registration. The latest bill is a bill that was signed into law earlier this month by North Carolina Governor Pat McQuary,” Waters said at the summit to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
“This extreme law attempts to prohibit parents of college students from claiming them as dependents when they file their taxes, if the students register to vote anywhere other than their parents homes. Under the new law, those students would be required to provide only a government-issued photo,” she continued.
