What a waste. Gov. McCrory and Republican NCGA terminated preregistration of high school students because they dont want young people to vote, in the process creating confusion and unnecessary bureaucracy at DMV and SBE. The preregistration program, adopted in 2009 with bipartisan support, was in effect from 2010 to the fall of September 2013. More than 150,000 teens participated in the program, according to state board of elections data. Of the 55,291 teens who preregistered in 2012, 41 percent chose to do so as unaffiliated. Thirty-three percent preregistered as Democrats and 25 percent as Republicans, marking the first year that Democratic preregistrations outnumbered Republican.
