Everyone should vote - until they shouldn't. More shame for NC -

Conservative Group Sues NC Elections Board Over Same-Day Registrations

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/lawsuit-north-carolina-same-day-registration

"
A conservative group in North Carolina filed a lawsuit Monday against the North Carolina state Board of Elections seeking to delay its certification of the 2016 elections until it has gone through the lengthy process of verifying the addresses of voters who registered to vote on the same day they voted.

The lawsuit comes as the sitting governor refuses to concede his defeat. Republican Gov. Pat McCrory trails Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper by some 5,000 votes. McCrory is claiming widespread voter fraud and is challenging ballots in dozen of counties as he tries to close the gap with Cooper.

McCory is under pressure from Democrats to concede. The new lawsuit, while not focused solely on the governor's race, could buy McCory more time by postponing the official certification of the results until well into December.

The Civitas Center for Law and Freedom wants the Elections Board to hold off on certifying the election results until county election officials have completed a laborious process of verifying by mail the addresses of same-day registrants."
