Voting Rights On Trial, Again (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Two years ago, the Supreme Court cut out a core provision of the Voting Rights Act, requiring federal approval of voting law changes in states with histories of discrimination. North Carolina acted almost immediately to enact new restrictions on voting. Supporters said it was to ensure an honest vote. Critics charged it was a racial, partisan move. To discourage black and Latino turnout. They sued. Right now, the case is in court. With the whole country watching as 2016 approaches. This hour On Point: the voting rights showdown in North Carolina. /Tom Ashbrook
