Green, Jordan

Abstract:

The author examines North Carolina's new restrictive election law which eliminated same-day registration and pushed the registration deadline back 10 days, shortening the early voting period. Various groups are working to invalidate the restrictive provisions of the election law, which makes it difficult for African American and young groups to register to vote.
