North Carolina Voting Law: DOJ's Eric Holder Sues State & Says New 'Restrictive' Voting Laws 'Defy Common Sense' (Video)
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a law suit North Carolina for alleged racial discrimination over new voting laws, The Associated Press reported. Calling the laws "restrictive," Attorney General Eric Holder argued that the state took "extremely aggressive steps to curtail the voting rights of African-Americans. This is an intentional step to break a system that was working and it defies common sense," he said at a press conference on Monday.
