What are your sources on this article? It is might presumptuous to write such a scathing article and do not have credible evidence to back it up. Please elaborate as the other party is spreading less than truthful information and I would hope that this is not presenting anything less than truthful.

I don't think the article is scathing. The numbers are just alarming. The numbers come from the State Board of Elections. The tool I used to compare election years is Carolina Vote Tracker. https://carolinaelections.com/tracker/61

Please link the numbers to the State BoE. I cannot find a demographic breakdown of early voting numbers on the State BoE website and I do NOT trust any analysis from the John Locke Foundation without a direct link to the source of their numbers.

Are you using up to date figures? Updated for the recent Sunday of voting, which (because of souls to the polls) boosted black turnout? If you did account for that, then you're right that the turnout is a a concern, but too many people take the first days of early voting (before Sunday) and conclude that black turnout is destined to be low.

Yes. I used the first four days of early voting, including Sunday.
