North Carolina GOP Pushes Sweeping Election Changes

North Carolina lawmakers “are moving toward approving a sweeping set of changes to North Carolina’s election laws unveiled Tuesday, which would cut the number of early voting days, require voters to show government-issued photo IDs and eliminate several forms of voter registration,” the Charlotte Observer reports.

Republicans says they want to “restore integrity” to the voting process while critics says the bill “will make it harder for the elderly, poor, minorities and students to vote.”
