NORTH CAROLINA — Across the country, Republican-led state legislatures have passed or are considering bills that would restrict voting after last year’s election. In North Carolina, three bills that could change elections have passed through the state Senate on party-line votes.
The House is now considering the bills, which could change the absentee ballot deadline, stop county elections boards from using private money and basically says the General Assembly plans to fund a way for voters to get state-issued identification. A voter ID law passed in 2018 is still blocked by the courts. One bill could also allow people to register to vote or change their registration online.
