SUMMARY: In North Carolina, the State Board of Elections has faced seven lawsuits in 52 days, part of a larger trend nationwide with over 130 lawsuits from the Republican National Committee.

While some believe these lawsuits may energize partisan bases, many voters seem indifferent. Legal actions are mainly disputes about election maps and procedures, with both parties accusing each other of chaos and dishonesty. Overall, these lawsuits contribute to a significant legal and electoral environment, with uncertain real-world impacts.

SUMMARY: State election officials report a strong early voter turnout in North Carolina, despite long lines at polling places. So far, over 2.3 million voters have cast their ballots, with early voting continuing until November 2. Election officials anticipate smooth results on Election Night and noted that millions of registered voters have yet to participate. Karen Brinson Bell, the Executive Director of the State Board of Elections, addressed voters in 25 counties affected by Hurricane Helen, urging them to request absentee ballots quickly. This special accommodation allows voters to drop off completed ballots at various locations if mailing is not feasible by the deadline.

The ballots cast represents a turnout of about 26% of North Carolina’s nearly 7.8 million registered voters.
