RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Some provisions in North Carolina's new voting law appear to discriminate against black voters, a federal appeals court said Wednesday.
The court issued a preliminary injunction requiring North Carolina to allow same-day registration for the November election and to count provisional ballots cast by voters who went to the wrong precinct. Other parts of the law were allowed to stand, including a reduction in the number of days for early voting, and allowing county officials to extend voting hours in precincts where large numbers of people have shown up or there are other problems.
