North Carolina to send mailers to about 200,000 voters asking for missing registration info
North Carolina election officials will be sending mailers to about 200,000 voters asking them to provide information missing from their state registration records. The move addresses a Republican concern featured in a protracted legal fight over a state Supreme Court seat and a recent U.S. Justice Department lawsuit. The North Carolina State Board of Elections voted unanimously Tuesday to begin contacting voters whose records lack a driver’s license or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Last month, the Justice Department sued state election officials, alleging the board violated federal law by failing to collect the identifying information.
