Both ask to intervene in a lawsuit that has been decided by activist Judge Pepper.
From the Sun Herald Article:
Wallace said the Republican Party "seeks only to be left alone to conduct Republican primaries" under the law as exists until the Legislature changes it.
The NAACP, in documents filed by former Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Fred Banks Jr., said voter ID "could harm participation of many voters who are elderly and poor - a disproportionate number of whom are African-American."
Banks said voter ID is not necessary to enforce problems Pepper found with the Democratic primaries. The court, Banks said, "should not coerce the state Legislature into such a sweeping change in electoral practices when the change is unnecessary to cure the violation."
