North Carolina Republicans makes absentee voting easier

North Carolina codified the no-excuse absentee status to request mail ballots and allows new ways to put absentee ballots in the hands of voters.  More at Washington Post.


The bill actually makes it easier to vote by absentee ballot.
North Carolina was already a no-fault absentee state, meaning a voter
didn’t have to offer an excuse to receive an absentee ballot. The law
codifies that, and it requires absentee ballot request forms to be
posted online; state parties and voter registration groups can copy the
request forms, too. The law even allows county boards of election to
deliver absentee ballot request forms and the ballots themselves to
voters who are disabled or ill. Those who cast absentee votes won’t have
to show an identification, according to Section 4.1 (It did not escape
state Democrats’ notice that more Republicans vote by absentee, while
more Democrats cast early ballots).
