Supreme Court needs to uphold its ruling

As stated in the News & Record (Jan. 2), the North Carolina Supreme Court, in its original ruling, left no doubt that the law "clearly and unambiguously" requires registration and voting in assigned precincts (precincts where voters reside).

There is no question that the N.C. Supreme Court's order was circumvented when the Democratic legislature met and passed a new law retroactively. How crooked can the Democrats be?

It is time for the N.C. Supreme Court to uphold its first ruling and demand that Trudy Wade keep her seat on the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, which she won fair and square without any doubt whatsoever.

I think you have a good point. My real point for responding is a pet peave I have about bashing political parties. Let's look at the issues and debate the issues, regardless of who is in office. The sentence "How crooked can the Democrats be" should be offensive to both parties, all parties. There is too much focus on the party line rather than "what's best...."
