North Carolina – The U.S. Supreme Court last week declined to hear a challenge to the state’s controversial voting changes. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals preliminarily blocked two portions of the law before the 2014 election, but the high court reversed that order, allowing the changes to remain in effect. A full trial is scheduled for July in the district court.
