college students. they joined civil rights groups who have been battling against the law since it pass the last year and who are in court today looking to block the most egregious elements of the law. those include highly restrictive i.d. requirements that exclude voting with a college i.d., the end of same-date voter registration, and slashing the number of early voting days from 17 to 10. and given the fact that in 2012, 70% of african-american voters cast their ballot during that early voting period and 41% used same-day registration, not to mention the fact that more than one-third of black north carolina voters do not have a valid i.d., it's clear who this law would harm. the reverend william barber joins me now. thank you very much for being here. >> hello, ms. reid. how are you today? >> i'm doing very well.
