You Can Comment On Proposed NC Voter ID Rules

Author Jim Slade

The North Carolina State Board of Education is giving the public a chance to comment on proposed North Carolina voter ID rules.

In a virtual meeting today, the board will discuss rules related to implementing the new photo ID requirement.  Voters will be required to show photo identification beginning with this year’s municipal elections this fall.  Officials are now trying to figure out how to uniformly implement the new voter ID requirement in all 100 North Carolina counties.  That includes more than three thousand polling places.

Officials have not yet settled how best to implement the photo identification requirement for in-person and absentee-by-mail voters.  The public comment period will be open through June 23.

If you don’t have a photo identification, you can get one free from the state.  Even without a photo ID, you’ll still be allowed to vote with a provisional ballot, but you’ll have to return to the board of elections office with an acceptable ID before the results are certified or your vote will be discarded.

North Carolina Town Voted One Of Best Small Towns For Shopping

USA Today recently had their readers vote for their “10 best” campaign. One of those categories was “The Best Small Towns for Shopping”. And one North Carolina town made the top 10 best small towns for the shopping list! I’ve never been to this mountain town, so a visit may be in order. Summer is the perfect time to travel and enjoy the mainly open air shopping districts on this list. I’m surprised that I have only been to one of these towns (and it’s actually the farthest one away…go figure!) But I have bookmarked multiple of these that I can’t wait to visit. Shopping and historic towns are some of my favorite things.

It’s not too late to plan your summer getaway and each of these small towns offers a shopping lover’s paradise! Especially if you are in to unique and or handmade items. Some of these are mountain towns there could be a good winter destination as well. As long as you don’t mind the cold that is.  We’ve got multiple areas of the country covered, so whether you want to fly or drive one of these is doable!
