A North Carolina court on Friday struck down a voter photo identification law passed by Republicans in 2018, finding it intentionally discriminated against Black voters likely to vote Democratic.

The ruling marks the second consecutive Republican-backed voting law from North Carolina to be overturned by the courts. A U.S. appeals court in 2016 found a previous law targeted African Americans "with almost surgical precision."

Georgia and Texas passed voter laws this year that triggered a national backlash from civil rights advocates. "We do not find that any member of the General Assembly who voted in favor of S.B. 824 harbors any racial animus or hatred towards African American voters, but rather ...that the Republican majority 'target voters who, based on race, were unlikely to vote for the majority party. Even if done for partisan ends, that constitute racial discrimination,'" the majority said.

" hope it sends a strong message that racial discrimination will not be tolerated," Allison Riggs, the coalition's chief counsel for voting rights, said in a statement.
