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.
