	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s not unusual to postpone a vote, but three times is a bad sign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ncleg.net/gascripts/BillLookUp/BillLookUp.pl?Session=2007&amp;amp;BillID=h91&quot;&gt;bill&lt;/a&gt; to allow North Carolinians to register to vote the weekend before an election passed the House in late March and made it through a Senate committee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was then put on the calendar for a full vote on June 5. At the last minute, Senate Majority Leader &lt;a href=&quot;/dome/profiles/tony_rand&quot;&gt;Tony Rand&lt;/a&gt; put it on the June 6 schedule instead. Then, he pulled it again, slating it for today.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few minutes ago, Rand rescheduled it for Wednesday&amp;#39;s session.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some Republicans &lt;a href=&quot;/blogs/early_voting&quot;&gt;oppose&lt;/a&gt; the bill, arguing that it could lead to voter fraud. But Democrats control the Senate, so if there&amp;#39;s trouble behind the scenes, it involves them as well.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
