- NC elections board moves to make it easier to toss voters’ ballots
The North Carolina Board of Elections voted along party lines to endorse a rule requiring only a majority vote, not unanimous agreement, to reject provisional ballots for lacking photo ID. The proposed rule faces criticism for potentially increasing ballot rejections and undermining voter confidence, while supporters argue it aligns with state law. The board also approved a ban on amplified sound near polling places, drawing concerns about suppressing voter mobilization efforts.
