All true, but they also need to shore up the student vote by tackling poor information among poll workers and among college students…yesterday.
Some polling places in NC are erroneously telling college students that their student ID isn’t sufficient to vote. If the school has provided a list of on-campus students to the county, then the student ID is sufficient. Josh Stein & the universities need to be singing this from the rooftops. And students from other states CAN vote in NC if they are living in NC and enrolled at a NC university.
A poll worker told my son he couldn’t vote with his student ID, so he showed her the precise language on the state board of elections website explaining that he could. She still wasn’t convinced until she asked another poll worker.
Voters need to arrive at the polls with Information. In some cases, they may have to insist upon their right to vote.
