Unlike the cash-strapped counties that have to cut their Early Voting sites (see the graph) to pay for @NCGOP legislators' unfunded mandate that increases the cost of operating Early Voting sites, affluent Durham looks set to substantially increase its site numbers.

Durham's majority plan (1 D and 1 R) would bump Early Voting sites from 2014's 4 to 6 this Nov., & the minority plan (by 1 R) would up it even further, to 7 sites. Both include sites at Duke & NCCU (missing in 2014). Both plans offer > 4x the total site-hours of 2014.

The big difference between Durham's contending plans concerns Sunday voting (prized by black churches). The Republican's plan would abolish it in favor of a 7th site in white-enclave SW Durham Co (of course). The bipartisan plan offers 48 hrs of Sun voting, up from 16 in 2014
