Henderson County expands early voting amid legislature pressure
The Henderson County Board of Elections, facing a law forcing additional early voting sites in 13 counties, expanded from one to four locations last week. Chair Clay Eddleman denounced the move as a power play by the North Carolina Legislature, while noting the system had been working. The Legislature passed Senate Bill 132 to require or authorize extra early voting sites for the November 2024 election, aiming for at least one site per 30 000 registered voters in each impacted county.
