NC Election Law - Abridging Our 1st Amendment Rights
Year after year we hear of individuals whose freedoms of speech, assembly, or religion are violated by either the federal or state governments, demanding that their freedoms be respected. Yet, we never seem to hear of the unconstitutional and deplorable abridgement of thousands upon thousands of Americans� freedom of speech that takes places every election day in almost every state of the union. This infraction upon our freedom of speech is the infringement on our right to vote by constrictive ballot access laws, and it is a degradation of the very essence of our representative form of government. These ballot access laws restrict thousands of American citizens from being able to vote, or at least being able to vote for the candidate that they feel best represents them. To better understand how these laws restrict the voter�s right at the ballot one needs to be acquainted with the laws and then the implications of those laws. Sadly, one of the most restrictive states in the union for these types of unconstitutional laws is our very own North Carolina.
