The N.C. NAACP wants to postpone a trial on the state’s photo ID requirement until after the March 15 primary, according to court papers filed Tuesday….
Attorneys for the state NAACP have argued that state elections officials have done little to publicize the change and provide training for county elections officials for how to interpret the “reasonable impediment declaration.” According to court papers, there will be little new evidence for how the amended photo ID requirement will be implemented.
The court papers said state officials began training county elections officials this week and poll workers will be trained either before or after the trial.
The N.C. NAACP also had filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to keep the photo ID requirement from taking effect during the March primaries. Schroeder has not made a decision on that motion.
