“Democracy NC: State Board meeting an ‘overall victory’ for North Carolina voters”

Release:

Yesterday, in a 12-hour marathon meeting, the N.C. State Board of Elections resolved the contested Early Voting plans from 33 of the state’s 100 counties. In 26 bipartisan votes, the three Republicans and two Democrats on the board chose plans that added more hours or voting sites, or both; but in seven party-line votes, they approved the weakest option before them.

Democracy North Carolina, the state’s largest voting-rights organization, called the meeting an “overall victory” and lauded the actions of the State Board, its staff, and the local leaders who fought for strong Early Voting plans.
