Polls opened across the state this morning for early voting. North Carolinians are able to vote early with same-day, in-person registration until November 5th. More information, including rules and polling places, can be found here.
Deborah issued the following statement on the start of early voting in North Carolina:
"I believe voting is a fundamental right that none of us can take for granted, and that our state and country are stronger when more people participate--not fewer. I fought to strengthen voting rights and protections in the State House. As early voting starts this year, I'm encouraging everyone to take a minute, commit to when and where you are going to vote, and then go to the polls and make your voice heard.
"It's dangerous and extremely disappointing that the Republican nominee for President of the United States wouldn't commit to accepting the results of this election. I hope Senator Burr will reject these harmful, inaccurate statements even if he continues to support Donald Trump and serve as an advisor to his campaign."
