NC elections board vote makes it easier to throw out mail-in ballots
The North Carolina State Board of Elections approved a measure allowing county staff to disqualify absentee ballots with irregularities like improper sealing or incorrect envelopes. The 3-2 partisan vote split, with Republicans supporting enhanced security and Democrats warning of voter disenfranchisement. The change requires approval by the Republican-led Rules Review Commission before taking effect.
