North Carolina State Board of Elections

But now

we have a Republican North Carolina State Board of Elections because our Republican legislature took that power away from the governor.

So maybe that won't happen.

All right, Margo, we'll be watching.

Check your voter registration through the state's online voter search.

If you're eligible and need to register, you can register online at ncsbe.gov. That's N-C-S-B-E for North Carolina State Board of Elections, ncsbe.gov.

The regular voting registration deadline is Friday, October 9th, that's this Friday, at 5:00 PM.

Early voting begins Thursday, October 15th, and runs through Saturday, October 31st.

And that does get me thinking, how can a disabled person get unbiased information about a candidate?

You can go to, uh, where you're registered to- where you check your registration at the State Board of Elections, and that's on the State Board of Elections website, which is ncsbe.gov. And when you check your registration, on that page, it allows you to actually see a sample ballot.

So it will show you exactly every race and every candidate who will be on your ballot based on, uh, where you're registered to vote.

And then from that information, you can look up each of those candidates and make informed decisions.

Are there differences between counties with regards to accessible voting machine models, and what voters should know about these m- various machines?

Excellent question, Chris, and yes, there are.

Um, each county, um, they s- they choose the machines, the accessible machines that they're going to use, um, in their county based on a list, uh, provided by the State Board of Elections.

And, uh, what a voter could do to be prepared, to help them be prepared, is to contact their county board of elections and ask them what type of accessible machines they use.

What official records show? Federal and state election security officials in a statement released by CISA described the November 3rd, 2020 election as, quote, the most secure in American history and said there was no evidence that any voting system deleted, lost, or changed votes or was compromised.

Cited in Department of Justice guidance on post-election audits and North Carolina State Board of Elections.

DOJ and DHS reported, and this is bold, no evidence, that a foreign government manipulated 2020 election results or voting infrastructure, and that it links to a joint statement.

The Intelligence Community Assessment is summarized in a congressional report found, again, no indication, bolded, that any foreign actor altered voter registration, ballot casting tabulation, or reporting.

And in Maine, it's 57% up from 53%.

And according to data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, 42% of ballot requests are from Democrats, up from 36% at this point two years ago.

If you're voting absentee or by mail, whatever they call it in your state, and you don't have a polling place to drop it off, use a Dropbox, please.

Mail it by October 17th if that's what you prefer.

The court is letting the Trump administration use a federal database to check voter rolls.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections welcomes the decision, but a voting rights group says it could hurt voter turnout in the November election.

The database is called SAVE, and it checks citizenship and immigration records.

North Carolina uses it to review voter rolls.

In Washington, the Supreme Court letting the Trump administration use a federal database to check voter rolls.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections welcomes the decision, A voting rights group says it could hurt voter turnout in the November election.

North Carolina uses it to review voter rolls.

It's important to note that North Carolina already uses this system running voter data through it.

So the State Board of Elections says voters' names, birth date, and last four digits of their Social Security numbers are screened.

In July, the database flagged nearly 1,600 people as potential noncitizens in North Carolina.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections released the following statement to Eyewitness News saying, quote, the SAVE database is one of few tools we can access to make sure that non-citizens are not on our voter rolls.

It also helped us identify over 35,000 deceased registrants on our voter list following a recent search of the system.

Meantime, a North Carolina advocacy group says this system could create fear for eligible voters.

My law firm and I, we are in, I believe, 90 cases in 43 states.

On Tuesday, we filed another lawsuit in North Carolina because the North Carolina State Board of Elections decided to adopt a last-minute rule that will disenfranchise voters.

Every day there's something.

I mean, it's something that the Trump administration is doing, a Republican state is doing, or in this case, the State Board of Elections in North Carolina is controlled by Republicans.

Bigly.

And the General Assembly had spent years trying to get the State Board of Elections under their own control.

They wanted to be in charge of that.

And they lost at the Supreme Court.

Yeah.

They're going to do it.

I mean, folks should feel outraged at what the auditor's office is doing and what the state board of elections is doing as far as trying to make it harder for them to vote.

I mean, we should be finding ways to open this franchise up to every eligible North Carolinian.
