North Carolina's voter ID mandate taking effect this fall is likely dress rehearsal for 2024

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Under the law, a voter must present photo identification from one of nearly a dozen categories -- from driver's licenses and military IDs to approved IDs for university students and government workers.
51% : Thirty-six states request or require identification to vote, of which at least 20 ask for a photo ID, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
46% : The pending state NAACP lawsuit could go to trial next year, so it's possible another ruling against the law could block its use for the fall 2024 elections.
40% : The state NAACP still has pending a federal lawsuit challenging the 2018 voter ID law as racially discriminatory, but the law can be enforced because an appeals court overturned a judge's previous decision stopping its use in advance of a trial.
