These low-turnout elections are a likely dress rehearsal for voter ID in 2024, when over 5 million people are expected to cast ballots in close races for president and governor next November in the ninth-largest state. Primaries also happen in March. “We’re thinking ahead to the general election and the primary election next year and just how many more mistakes there’ll be,” said Kate Fellman, who leads the organization.
Kimberly Sherrill, 63, a retired university employee, described the process of using her ID to vote at a Durham early voting site this week as a little tedious. But she’s OK with voters having to present some kind of identification.Thirty-six states request or require identification to vote, of which at least 20 ask for a photo ID, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
