HB 91 (Registration and Voting at One-Stop Sites)

HB 91 (Registration and Voting at One-Stop Sites) will be going through the Senate Select Committee on Government and Election Reform soon (the scheduled meeting for today was canceled). I ask that each of you contact the Senators on the Select Committee to express your support and urge them to support the bill.

HB 91 is important because it will allow registration and voting on the same day during the "One Stop" voting period prior to elections. This is a great opportunity to attract voters and will certainly make voting more convenient for hard working North Carolinians.

The list of Senators is below:

Co-Chairman
Sen. Daniel G. Clodfelter

Sen. Tony Rand

Members
Sen. Doug Berger, Sen. Philip E. Berger, Sen. Stan Bingham, Sen. Julia Boseman, Sen. Janet Cowell, Sen. Charlie S. Dannelly, Sen. Steve Goss, Sen. Ed Jones, Sen. Martin L. Nesbitt, Jr., Sen. R. C. Soles, Jr., Sen. Richard Stevens

I fully support House Bill 91 (Registration and Voting at One-Stop Sites). This legislation is important to maximizing voter-turnout during elections and ensuring that all North Carolinians are capable of exercising the most important of American rights: Voting for elected representation.

House Bill 91 will allow North Carolinians to register and vote in the same day during the pre-election day One-Stop voting period. This will make voting more convenient and available to North Carolinians that are increasingly busy with multiple jobs and families.
The bill provides appropriate safe-guards to prevent voter fraud. Appropriate proof of eligibility is required along with a signed attestation of eligibility. The required proof of residence and eligibility is similar to the documentation that must be provided during standard registration. Providing false testimony for the purpose of casting an ineligible ballot is a Class I felony.

Further, there is a two-business day period in which the voter's eligibility would be validated. Should the ballot be ineligible, it would be retrieved and discarded.

This legislation is good for North Carolina and good for North Carolinians. I strongly urge you to support the bill and to urge your colleagues to support this bill as well.

Thank you, in advance, for your assistance on this.

I'll update with a "whip count" as I get responses.
