I still don't like that they knocked the early voting period down from three weeks to 10 days.

They went from 17 days to 10 days. But the law requires the same hours provided as before. Either by extended hours on those 10 days, or more locations on those same days.

The other big change in the law ? a reduction in the number of early-voting days ? could diminish Democrats? historical advantage in early voting, which accounted for more than half of ballots cast in North Carolina last year.
But Republicans note that the law still requires the same number of hours of early voting ? just over a smaller period of time. County election officials can either extend hours on a given day or provide more early voting locations.
