Republican NC senators propose cuts to the state’s most popular voting method

Republican North Carolina senators proposed a bill to reduce the early voting period from 17 days to 10 days by moving its start date. The bill, Senate Bill 1084, is sponsored by Warren Daniel, Brad Overcash, and Mark Hollo. The legislation echoes a 2013 law that limited early voting to 10 days, which was later struck down for disproportionately affecting African American voters.
