60% of the NC Legislature put measures on the ballot in 2018 to require photo IDs for in person voting and cap NC's income tax at 7% under a process called legislatively-referred constitutional amendments. Those measures passed by referendum held during a general election, 55% to 45% and 57% to 42%.
Libs claim that since NC had to redraw its decennial maps from 2011 in 2017, the legislature shouldn't have been able to put these measures on the ballot. They are effectively arguing that all the work done by the legislature for that decade was illegitimate, but are targeting throwing out those two referenda they don't like.
