Abstract:

House Bill 589, introduced in the Republican-controlled NC General Assembly, would kill the fairness of elections in the state. Among the features are reducing early voting from 17 days to 10, eliminating same-day registration during the same period and eliminating straight party ticket voting. The bill tightens voting restrictions, but relaxes campaign finance laws.

Abstract:

After a federal court struck down North Carolina’s voter identification law, state Republicans have been trying to circumvent the decision by limiting early voting as much as possible. Under state law, county election plans need unanimous approval in order to be final.
