North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) “says he will sign into law a Republican-backed bill making sweeping changes to how and when citizens can vote even though he has not seen one of its key provisions,” WRAL reports.
When asked specifically about a provision ending the program encouraging high school students to register to vote in advance of their 18th birthdays, he said, “I don’t know enough, I’m sorry, I haven’t seen that part of the bill.”
