    NC Digital ID Lets You Share Less | Winston–Salem News

    North Carolina’s launching a new digital ID this winter—right before the holidays—to give you more control over your personal info.

    Sunday Voting Debate Rocks NC | Winston–Salem News

    North Carolina’s election board is wading into a heated battle over early voting — especially Sunday hours — as 20 counties clash over access and location. Republicans push back against Sunday voting, citing poll worker rest days, while Democrats argue it’s vital for working families and Black church communities. Disputes also erupted over where to place voting sites — liberals want them in urban hubs, conservatives in rural areas — with some even opposing campus polling locations. Yet, a rare win: Lee County struck a unanimous deal for one Sunday of early voting. Despite the friction, state officials predict record-breaking turnout this year, with early voting launching October 15th and running through October 31st — and they’re urging local boards to maximize hours wherever possible to ensure everyone can vote.
