North Carolina Republicans Propose 2024 Voter ID and Tax Amendments

North Carolina Republican lawmakers have proposed three constitutional amendments for the 2024 ballot, addressing voter ID requirements, voter eligibility, and income taxes. The amendments emphasize that voter ID is required for mail-in voting, affirm that only citizens can vote, and propose lowering the maximum income tax rate from 7% to 5%. Critics argue these measures are redundant and meant to mobilize conservative voters, while supporters claim they solidify existing laws. The 2018 voter ID and income tax amendments, already facing legal challenges, could become moot if new amendments are approved. The proposals must pass a supermajority in both the state House and Senate to be placed on the ballot.
