Experts, voters discuss problems with N.C. voting law at trial BY TODD LUCK THE CHRONICLE The plaintiffs against North Carolina's election reform law, known as House Bill 589, continue to present experts and voters in the N.C. NAACP vs. McCrory trial. The trial began last week in federal court in Winston-Salem, challenging a series of state vot ing revisions signed into law in 2013 that reduced early voting days, banned out-of-precinct voting, ended same-day registration and stopped pre-reg istration for teens. There's also a voter ID requirement being chal lenged, but those arguments will be heard at a later date because a law was recently passed softening the ID requirements. The plaintiffs - the N.C. NAACP, U.S. Justice Department and League of Women Voters - argue the law is discriminatory against minorities and youth. Lawyers for the state argue that the measures are "neutral on their face" and are not discrimina tory toward minorities. In opening arguments on Monday, July 13, Penda Hair, a lawyer with the Advancement Project representing the N.C. NAACP, said that it's the law's results, not its neu tral wording, that matter.
