Some voters are shocked by a North Carolina law that allows husbands and wives to vote from the same booth, raising concerns about how pressure from a spouse might influence the voting of the other.
Cheryl Schmidt was shocked to see couples voting together when she went to cast her vote early, NC Newsline reported. Schmidt, who recently moved to the state, was shocked to find the practice is legal: state law explicitly allows spouses to occupy the same voting booth if they both wish to do so.
