College students in North Carolina are fighting back. They’ve filed a lawsuit against a Republican plan to deny polling places at three NC college campuses, including the largest historically Black college in America.
This week, President Trump called for Republicans to pursue nationalized voting. Here's what that means and why it matters.
In a new Billy Ball Explains NC, we break down how the NC GOP took control of election boards, why students and Black voters are being targeted, and how these decisions fit into a national strategy to limit voting access.
Millions of Americans turn out to vote in presidential elections, but most of us don’t engage in the local elections that have an outsized impact on our everyday lives. Here's why we need a change in North Carolina.
NC State Board of Elections Executive Director Sam Hayes is setting off on a mission to correct 103,000 North Carolinians’ voting records from which some information is missing.
A federal trial wrapping up in Winston-Salem centers on the claim that NC Republicans suppressed Black voters when they gerrymandered the state.
Judge Jefferson Griffin lost his race but is still trying to toss out 65,000 votes. At ‘Disenfranchised Disco’ on Friday night, North Carolinians proved that protecting democracy requires mobilization—both on and off the dance floor.
A few races in North Carolina have shifted during the provisional ballot counting period this year, including the race for NC Supreme Court between Allison Riggs and Jefferson Griffin. Here’s why this can happen.
As part of North Carolina's thorough election canvassing process, county boards of elections are still researching provisional ballots to see whether they should be counted, a process that could still affect close contests like the state Supreme Court race between Justice Allison Riggs and Jefferson Griffin, who are separated by fewer than 8,000 votes.
The vote counting process in North Carolina moves relatively fast, but it's still thorough. So cin close races it may take days to know who won. However long it takes, however, it is NOT evidence of election fraud or malfeasance. It’s proof of the opposite: that North Carolina’s elections are secure, fair, and accurate.
