Very interesting.  A NC trial court has found that the State Board of Elections, ratifying the majority preference of the Wautauga County Board of Elections (which split along party lines), intended to discriminate against students in moving an early voting site half a mile, from the campus of Appalachian State University to a site in downtown Boone.  The short opinion is here.

Even as the war over North Carolina’s new statewide law rages on, don’t ignore the battles over implementation.
