Government To Sue North Carolina Over New Voter Law
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says it will sue North Carolina for adopting strict voter laws the administration says make it tougher for minorities and students to vote.

At least five Southern states have adopted stricter voter ID and other election laws. Texas is also being sued.
