A Wake County Superior Court Judge ruled Friday that two amendments to the state’s constitution are unconstituional.

Two new amendments to the North Carolina are unconstitutional, a Wake County Superior Court Judge ruled Friday afternoon.

Judge Bryan Collins struck down the state’s new photo ID requirement to vote, as well as a cap placed on the state’s income tax.

He ruled that the state’s legislative maps are so gerrymandered that the General Assembly “does not represent the people of North Carolina and is therefore not empowered to pass legislation that would amend the state’s Constitution.”
