The North Carolina GOP-controlled legislature will pass emergency legislation forcing two western North Carolina counties to open additional early voting sites, after Democrat-controlled local boards of elections failed to do so despite strong calls from voters in those communities.
“The top five states where residents’ votes will have the biggest impact in the 2024 election are all fiercely-contested battleground states: Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin. If you live in one of these states, you could quite literally have the fate of the election in your hands," said analyst Chip Lugo.
Early voting sites across North Carolina will open their doors to voters in just one week, which means political campaigns are in crunch mode to turn everyday consumer habits into vital data points that help pinpoint persuadable voters.
