Episode Details

North Carolina’s GOP just rammed through a sweeping elections overhaul—shortening early voting to 10 days, ramping up voter roll purges, and tweaking campaign finance rules—claiming it boosts security and cuts costs. But Democrats and voting rights advocates are rallying against it, warning it’ll slash ballot access, especially for vulnerable voters, and erode public trust. With less than half of votes cast on Election Day, cutting early options could be disastrous. Governor Josh Stein has already vowed to veto the bill, calling it chaotic and unfair. Now, Republicans may try to override his veto—and lawmakers are hitting the campaign trail before November rolls around. This isn’t just about elections—it’s about who gets to vote and how easily.
