Mike’s callers react to the North Carolina Supreme Court striking down their voter ID requirement over racial bias concerns.

GALLAGHER: Billy is in Springfield, Ohio.

CALLER BILLY: How does anyone with any lick of sense say that requiring ID to vote is racist? Springfield, Ohio where I vote at. Every time I vote, I got to show ID and everybody that goes in there. I am White. How is that racist? It’s not racist. To me, all these people that try to call people racist. That is the worst thing you can call somebody is racist.

GALLAGHER: Which is kind of the point. That is sort of why they say it. It is the ugliest and nastiest thing you can do is to say someone is a bigot or a racist and they know it. That is how they think they can shut down any dissent, any dialogue. Everything is racist. Everything is bigoted. Everything is discriminatory. Getting a photo ID is as simple as putting one foot in front of the other. How can you function as a member of society without having a photo ID? Well you can’t. So tell me how this is discriminatory. Norman is in North Carolina.

CALLER NORMAN: Merry Christmas Mike. It is a little cold up here today.

GALLAGHER: It is cold everywhere. It is cold in Florida. I had to wear a jacket coming into work this morning. Little unusual. Maybe we will get a Christmas freeze everywhere.

CALLER NORMAN: Listen, I don’t have an answer to that. However, I will tell you being from North Carolina. There is a minority community here in my small town. The license office is closer to them then anyone else. It is not shut down. The pollsters. When you go to vote, it is so crazy up here. I don’t know what has become of my state. I am a lifetime resident. I am 62 years old. Everyone pulls out their license and says no, we voted for this. You are going to look at my ID. Everyone does that.

GALLAGHER: Norman. I often think about residents like you who sit around and say what has happened to my state?
