Billy Ball Explains NC: The GOP’s war on voting in North Carolina


In a new Billy Ball Explains NC, we break down how the NC GOP took control of election boards, why students and Black voters are being targeted, and how these decisions fit into a national strategy to limit voting access.

North Carolina Republicans recently voted to block early voting sites at NC A&T State Universityโ€”the largest HBCU in the countryโ€”and nearby UNC-Greensboro.

In this new episode of Billy Ball Explains NC, we break down how the GOP took control of the stateโ€™s election boards, why students and Black voters are being targeted, and how these decisions fit into a national strategy to limit voting access.

This isnโ€™t about logisticsโ€”itโ€™s about power. Make sure youโ€™re registered to vote in NCโ€™s upcoming primary elections, happening March 3. Early voting kicks off Feb. 12.
