TOMORROW<x-apple-data-detectors://7>, April 27<x-apple-data-detectors://8>th<x-apple-data-detectors://8> at 9:00 AM ET<x-apple-data-detectors://8>: Democrats Host Media Call To Discuss The Status of Voting Rights in North Carolina

On Tuesday, voting rights activists filed an appeal of a U.S. District Court’s decision to uphold North Carolina’s overly burdensome election law, H.B. 589. The law imposed a number of new restrictions including eliminating same-day registration, reducing the early voting period and imposing strict new photo ID requirements that have made it harder for millions of North Carolinians to vote.

Make no mistake, these are efforts by Republicans to intentionally silence the very groups that disagree with their extreme policies.

While Republicans continue to defend laws to limitvoter turnout, Democrats have gone to court in Arizona and beyond to reverse the culture of voter discrimination. This was echoed in North Carolina today, as voting rights activists filed an appeal of the onerous H.B. 589 decision. Democrats across the country will continue to defend the right to vote -- the most fundamental of our rights.

Tomorrow<x-apple-data-detectors://11>, CBC Chairman Representative G.K. Butterfield, Representative Alma Adams and DNC’s National Director of Voter Expansion Pratt Wiley will discuss the restrictions of North Carolina’s H.B. 589 and how Democrats are working to expand access to the ballot box leading into the general election.
