NC A&T student says lack of campus voting sites a ‘modern-day poll tax’


Shia Rozier is a student advocating for voting sites at NC A&T State University and other college campuses.

Rozier spoke at the North Carolina Executive Mansion earlier this week as Gov. Josh Stein (D) vetoed a bill that would cut back early voting dates and allow ballots to be challenged up to three days after Election Day.

โ€œEarly voting helps people, and specifically young people, exercise their constitutional right to be able to vote, and that should be protected and not restricted,โ€ Rozier said.
