North Carolina Gov. Expected to Sign New Voting Rights Curbs

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory is expected to sign a new law today that is being described as the nation’s harshest crackdown on voting rights. The new bill cuts early voting to one week, requires government-issued ID at the polls, ends same-day voter registration, and drops a program that helps high school students register to vote before their 18th birthdays. Asked about the elimination of the high school program at a news conference, McCory admitted he had not read that section of the bill.
