Election director and voter among witnesses in election law lawsuit

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — An election law is in the spotlight in federal court. WXII was in court to break down the arguments presented today right here in Forsyth County and why a voter and even an election director both testified.

This all centers around arguments that voter registration particularly among young college aged adults is being restricted. The election law being challenged was enacted in 2023.

The first witness called to the stand: the deputy director for the North Carolina Black Alliance. He was questioned about how the organization works with mobilizes and educates college students about their voting rights — many of whom he said are first time voters.

His testimony was important in establishing why his organization along with other advocacy groups are part of this lawsuit.
