North Carolina's tough voter identification law was dealt what could be a fatal blow on Monday, as the Supreme Court rejected an appeal to reinstate the policy. 
Advocates of the law said it was meant to preserve the integrity of elections and counter voter fraud. But critics said it unfairly singled out black voters. 
The justices on Monday left in place a lower court ruling citing such alleged discrimination. That ruling struck down the law's photo ID requirement and reduction in early voting. 
The decision comes just days after President Trump ordered a a review of voter fraud allegations. 
In the North Carolina case, the situation was complicated when Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Attorney General Josh Stein tried to withdraw the appeal, which was first filed when Republican Pat McCrory was governor.
