Thursday News: State of insanity

JUDGE IN N.C. VOTER CHALLENGE CASE LABELS PURGES 'INSANE' (AP) -- North Carolina's process for challenging voters' registration seems to harken to a bygone era when fewer safeguards were in place, a federal judge said Wednesday as she presided over a lawsuit that alleges voters are being purged unfairly. U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs said the process sounds “insane.” “This sounds like something that was put together in 1901,” she told lawyers for the state. Biggs also said she was “horrified” by the number of removals in Cumberland County, which accounted for most of the state total. “It almost looks like a cattle call, the way people are being purged,” she told county attorney Rick Moorefield.
