BREAKING: North Carolina Legislature Approves Nation's Most Restrictive Voter Suppression Law

[Le Taz Hot]

19. Criminee, look at some of these provisions:

Other provisions in the revamped bill include the following:
•Eliminate pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-olds, who currently can register to vote before they turn 18.
• Outlaw paid voter registration drives.
• Eliminate straight-ticket voting.
• Eliminate provisional voting if someone shows up at the wrong precinct.
• Prohibit counties from extending poll hours by one hour on Election Day in extraordinary circumstances, such as in response to long lines.
• Allow any registered voter of a county to challenge the eligibility of a voter rather than just a voter of the precinct in which the suspect voter is registered.
• Move the presidential primary to first Tuesday after South Carolina's primary if that state holds its primary before March 15. That would mean North Carolina would have two primaries during presidential elections.
• Study electronic filing for campaign returns.
• Increase the maximum allowed campaign contribution per election from $4,000 to $5,000.
• Loosen disclosure requirements in campaign ads paid for by independent committees.
• Repeal the publicly funded election program for appellate court judges.
• Repeal the requirement that candidates endorse ads run by their campaigns.
