Wake County Board of Elections removes Talley Student Union as early voting site

The Wake County Board of Elections voted unanimously to remove Talley Student Union from the list of early voting sites for the general election in a meeting on June 12.

The site was replaced by the NC State Business Services Center, located off Western Blvd. Several Democrats argued the move could suppress turnout among students due to the distance. Board Chairman Keith Weatherly, a Republican, stated that the change was made to help make the site more accessible for all voters in the area, especially those who need parking.

“We found it would be more accessible to a larger number of voters, who live in that area and who would likely vote in that area, to move it to the business center,” Weatherly said.

Weatherly provided the statistics the Wake County Board of Elections used in their decision, citing there are 86,909 registered voters within a 10-minute drive of Talley, and 139,500 registered voters within a 10-minute drive of the Business Service Center – over a 50,000-person difference.

Unlike the Talley Student Center, where they would resist the illegal efforts at voter suppression that the current regime is attempting.

Typical crap from typical shits.
