From Fox News: North Carolina’s elections board came to an agreement with the Republican and Democratic parties on Monday to give 73,000 voters more time to update their voter registrations before they are removed from voter rolls.
The settlement concludes an extended legal battle that rose after the Republican National Committee and North Carolina GOP sued state election officials in 2024, claiming that roughly 250,000 voters had been improperly registered. The voters in question did not provide the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers or an attestation that they had neither on their registrations.
Republicans had requested that the voters be removed from rolls and their votes in the 2024 elections be thrown out. The Democratic National Committee hailed the settlement as a win on Monday, accusing the GOP of voter suppression.
“This latest victory is a win for Americans and yet another blow to the Republicans’ scheme to disenfranchise voters ahead of the midterm elections,” DNC chair Ken Martin said in a statement after the settlement.
The report explains that the North Carolina State Board of Elections admitted that roughly 100,000 voters lacked proper identification as of last summer.
That number had shrunk to roughly 73,000 by December. In the agreement reached on Monday, the voters will be allowed to stay on the voter rolls, but when they cast their next ballot, their information must be updated.
Voters are required to show ID when voting in North Carolina.
