North Carolina election board rejects early voting site at country's largest Black university

As Black students silently protested, Republican state officials denied their request to provide a primary election early voting location at North Carolina A&T State University, the largest of the country’s historically Black colleges and universities.

It’s the latest in a string of recent moves by the state election board, which came under GOP control in May, to restrict voting in the Tar Heel State.

Students wrote a letter to the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) asking for the campus polling site, saying it would “ensure voting is easy and accessible,” particularly for students who don’t have cars.

But in a 3-2 vote along party lines, the NCSBE refused the request Tuesday, approving an early voting plan for Guilford County without a campus location.
