North Carolina State Trial Judge Says Lawsuit Against Photo Voter-ID Requirement May Proceed, Even Though Legislature Recently Softened It

The legislature had eased the requirement earlier this year, and then argued that the case against the original photo-ID law should be dismissed on the grounds that it is moot.
