Ballots counted from dead voters has some saying NC is to blame
Live and let live? A decision by NC counties to accept dead voters’ ballots upsets some, unites others.
Everette Harris voted by mail in the May 2014 primary election. But before Election Day came, he died, and his vote was removed from the count. A decade later, three people — Wilfred Shea, 96, Michael Talbot, 78, and Daniela Smith-Davis, 18 — cast their ballots in the 2024 general election. They also died before Election Day.
But this time, their votes were counted by county board of election members in defiance of state guidance.
It’s the latest affront in a long series of disagreements over election law in North Carolina. Does state law allow the ballots of dead voters to count if they were alive when they cast them?
Call to action
In 2014, this question spurred U.S. Rep. Mark Harris, Everette’s son, to action. Harris asked then N.C. House Speaker Thom Tillis to do something that would ensure future voters in his father’s position would have their ballots counted.
Tillis obliged, sponsoring a bill which would have clarified that a voter’s ballot could not be challenged if they died between casting it and Election Day. The bill, called the Everette Harris Act, sailed through the state House unanimously.
But the state Senate never assigned the bill to a committee, potentially due to an unrelated budgetary fight between Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger, according to Gerry Cohen, a Wake County board of elections member who helped draft the bill.
“In budget fights, people trade things — ‘we’ll do this, if you’ll do that,’” Cohen said. “I think that Berger wanted something from the House and in return would pass the bill, and it didn’t pass.”
A decade later, Cohen is once again squarely in the center of the latest controversy over deceased voters. Cohen is one of several county board of elections members who ignored State Board of Elections guidance to remove dead voters from the count in the 2024 general election.
Based on its interpretation of North Carolina law, the state elections board issued a 2022 memo instructing county election boards to judge voter qualifications as of Election Day, not the day when that person cast a ballot. By this logic, a voter who died by Election Day would not meet the state’s voter residency requirements.
But Cohen doesn’t agree with that interpretation. And neither do some election board members in Wake and Rowan counties.
Others, including several state residents who filed complaints over the issue, assert that county election boards don’t have authority to make their own interpretations.
“The danger is that board of elections members decided to pick and choose what law they want to follow,” said Michael Frazier, the GOP election integrity chair for Rowan County.
Deceased ballots and their gray area
Each week, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services provides the state elections board a list of dead people.
The board uses that information to remove the deceased from the voter rolls in accordance with state law. That process doesn’t stop during election cycles.
The confusion for some is that North Carolina law isn’t explicitly clear on whether a voter can be removed from the rolls after casting a ballot because they’ve died.
Ten states, including Florida and Maryland, allow dead voters’ ballots to count if they were alive when they cast them, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Nine states, including Delaware and Iowa, require them to be removed from the count.
In three states (Colorado, Kansas, New York) there’s no blanket ban but challenges over dead voters are allowed.
And in 26 states, including North Carolina, the issue exists in a legal gray area.
“It’s not so much that I see vagueness. I just don’t see where it says if you die before Election Day and you’ve already voted, then your vote doesn’t count,” said Greg Flynn, a Wake County board of elections member.
A ‘nightmare’
In the past, there may have been a concern about people using a dead person’s identity to vote, Flynn continued. But now, technology and voting laws have progressed to the point where elections officials know exactly who is voting. The original impetus for such a law is gone, he added.
In the absence of a clear legislative mandate, Flynn said the State Board of Elections has tried to manage the situation.
“I think what’s happening is that a series of logical decisions has created a process that’s kind of a nightmare for the surviving families,” he said.
When elections staff challenge the ballot of a person who died after voting, a hearing is scheduled. There, voters who have been mistakenly identified as deceased can testify to have their ballots counted.
During this past election, however, relatives of Shea, Talbot and Smith-Davis showed up at the Wake County Board of Elections instead.
One of the family members representing Shea, who was an N.C. State track coach in the 1970s, sobbed for several minutes at the podium before she was able to testify, Cohen recalled.
“The testimony was, ‘I got this challenge letter in the mail last night, and I saw the hearing was today, and I came in. My father was 96 years old. It was the last thing he wanted to do in life,’” Cohen recalled. “And she stood on the stand crying, and I thought this process was unspeakably cruel.”
Down for the count
When it came time to vote on whether to throw out their votes, Cohen, Flynn and Wake County Board of Elections member Erica Porter decided not to sustain the challenges against the relatives. They also removed all other challenged dead voters from the count.
Further west, a similar situation occurred in Rowan County. Faced with a choice on whether to count the ballots of 13 residents who died after making their decision, four members of the Rowan County Board of Elections opted not to vote on the matter, effectively dismissing the challenges.
Frazier filed a complaint against the board members, asking the state elections board to consider their removal from office. To Frazier, it didn’t matter whether the challenged votes were Republican or Democrat. It was their decision to “subvert the law knowingly.”
The state election board decided that the Wake and Rowan election board members could remain in their posts. But they all agreed that the county boards should not have acted in such a manner.
“For me, it is disturbing when our memos are not adhered to,” State Board member Jeff Carmon said. “In two of these situations, I find that the lack of clarity from our legislature gives them an out. It is my hope that the legislature will make it crystal clear to give our memos even more weight.”
Republican State Board members Kevin Lewis and Stacy “Four” Eggers voted in the minority. Eggers said it’s been “quite clear for several decades” that the procedure is to not count these voters’ ballots.
Lewis said that the State Board is the final arbiter of North Carolina law, not the county boards.
“As a county board member, I had to follow a lot of numbered memos that I would have perhaps drafted differently or have had a different interpretation of, but as a county board member, I felt that and understood that I was obligated to comply,” he said.
Will the legislature act on dead ballots?
There seems to be not much of a legislative appetite to clarify the issue.
It’s one of the few election debates that may not fall along ideological or partisan lines, Western Carolina University political science professor Chris Cooper said, so it’s unclear how the legislature would change the law if it chose to do so.
“Who wants to come out and say you want to deny grandma the right to vote after she’s died?” Cooper asked. “It’s a very small number of people we’re talking about, and it’s a sensitive topic, so I don’t think there’s a lot of incentive to make it a policy issue right now.”
As for Cohen, he’s made his point. If the situation arose again, he would follow the State Board’s guidance.
“Did I step out of line? Maybe so. But the situation was so cruel, I decided I need to take a stand to change things,” he said. “I don’t need to stick my neck out again.”

NC government has more than 1,000 job openings. Where they are, what they do, how much they pay.
SUMMARY: North Carolina’s Department of Adult Correction faces a 26% job vacancy rate amid a broader state vacancy rate of 20% and a turnover rate of 12%, which spikes to 31% during the first year. To address these challenges, new HR director Staci Meyer emphasizes the need for system overhaul. Key sectors, particularly health care and corrections, show significant vacancy levels. With 1,000+ job postings mainly in health and transportation, most positions are permanent and on-site, with competitive salaries; only a few allow for flexible remote work. State recruitment efforts are intensifying to attract former federal employees despite ongoing challenges.

Labor and delivery services drying up at NC rural hospitals
Rural hospitals could be putting pregnant women and babies at risk by slashing labor and delivery services across North Carolina.
Natasha Fuller delivered her two children at Charles A. Cannon Memorial Hospital in remote and mountainous Avery County in 2011 and 2014. Now, she works with App Health Care, assisting other pregnant Avery County women who no longer have that same option.
Cannon Memorial shuttered its maternity ward in 2015. A substantial number of women in the area are confused and desperate for care.
Most Avery County women now travel at least 45 minutes through the mountains to reach the UNC hospital in Boone. A mother or unborn baby having high-risk pre-existing conditions could force a two-hour ride to Asheville. Some do not reach care in time.

Identifying and accessing care options has become more difficult and involved than ever before, not just in Avery County, but for mothers-to-be in rural counties across North Carolina.
This is part one of the three-part Carolina Public Press investigation Deserting Women, which examines state data on every hospital in North Carolina over the last decade. CPP found that hospital systems have systematically centralized services in urban areas while cutting them in rural ones, resulting in growing maternal health care deserts in nearly every corner of the state. Some rural hospitals have also cut or reduced certain critical OBGYN services, leaving women more vulnerable to complications.
This article focuses on these data findings and their consequences. Subsequent articles will look at the systemic issues that contribute to these trends and possible solutions.
“Labor is not predictable, and can be very scary,” said Sarah Verbiest, executive director of the Collaborative for Maternal and Infant Health at UNC School of Medicine.
“When you have a factor of needing to travel further distances, that’s where you can end up with those situations of a baby being born on the side of the road.”
Infant mortality in North Carolina occurs at a higher rate than some neighboring Southeastern states and the United States at large. Counties without adequate care options tend to have higher rates of infant mortality.
In recent years, it has become even riskier for mothers-to-be. The maternal mortality rate doubled in North Carolina from 2019 to 2021, rising from 22 per 100,000 births to 44 per 100,000 births.
Overall between 2018 and 2022, North Carolina’s maternal mortality rate was 26.7 per 10,000 deliveries, higher than the national average of 23.2.
This map shows the level of labor and delivery services at hospitals in North Carolina by county, also noting counties with no hospitals and counties where the level of service has changed over the last decade. The map is based on Carolina Public Press analysis of hospital licensing records submitted to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and obtained by CPP through a public records request.

What NC data on labor and delivery services showed
A stark divide has emerged in North Carolina’s maternity care landscape: While hospitals in cities like Charlotte and Raleigh have added dozens of new delivery rooms, many rural facilities have been shuttering or downsizing their labor and delivery units.
The closures, reductions and existing gaps in service have created four distinct maternity deserts across the state: Far Western NC, Northwestern NC, Northeastern NC and Southern NC.
This analysis is based on documents CPP acquired from the NC Department of Health and Human Services in response to a records request. CPP examined License Renewal Applications from each hospital from 2013, 2018, and 2023. DHHS requires licensed hospitals to self-report annually the number of delivery rooms they offer.
CPP analyzed the number of delivery rooms and bedspace that hospitals reported on these applications, noting changes in the number over time. CPP then contacted the hospitals and relevant public health departments to verify these findings.
Between 2013 and 2023, nine hospitals in mostly rural counties completely eliminated labor and delivery service:
- Avery County
- Bladen County
- Caldwell County
- Cherokee County
- Macon County
- Martin County
- Mitchell County
- Transylvania County
- Davidson County, (although a second hospital continues to provide service in this county)
These closures are geographically distributed all over the state, but the majority occurred in Western North Carolina.
Meanwhile, other hospitals conducted service reductions and consolidation, further reducing the options for pregnant women in rural areas.
At least 29 delivery rooms were cut or repurposed at rural hospitals that did not fully eliminate services over the last decade in North Carolina. No regulatory structure exists to prevent hospitals from reducing the number of delivery rooms in their facilities. Women in counties like Stanly, Johnston and McDowell have reduced access as a result of this trend.
These reductions are not typically enough to make headlines — usually, the hospital just repurposes one or more delivery rooms for non-delivery purposes — but taken together, they demonstrate a willingness of rural hospitals to reduce services for women in silence.
In the 1940s, North Carolina public health officials envisioned having a hospital in every county, according to Ami Goldstein, an associate professor at the UNC School of Medicine’s Department of Family Medicine.
Today, that vision has eroded.
Twenty counties don’t have hospitals at all, and 20 more have hospitals that haven’t offered labor and delivery services in recent memory. That leaves only 60% of counties with any options for mothers-to-be. And those counties without options are often clustered together, compounding the challenges for their residents.
These changes are also having a ripple effect. As smaller facilities reduce services, major hospital hubs are seeing increasing patient volumes, including from residents of outlying areas.
Rural exodus and growth of women’s health deserts
North Carolina hospitals have executed a clear pattern of rural exodus and urban consolidation, from the mountains to the coastal plains.
For this project, CPP identified existing problems in each desert region and when and how they worsened.
Northwestern NC: The Northwestern NC maternity desert is perhaps the most severe. Four hospitals in the region have eliminated maternity services over the last decade.
Cannon Memorial Hospital in Avery County nixed its labor and delivery services in 2015, followed by Blue Ridge Regional in Mitchell County in 2017.
In 2019, UNC Health Caldwell in Caldwell County stopped serving pregnant women. A year later, Atrium Health’s Lexington Medical Center in Davidson County eliminated its labor and delivery services as well.
Beyond that, hospitals in Alleghany, Surry, Stokes and Davie don’t offer labor and delivery services. Two counties in the area — Yadkin and Alexander — don’t have hospitals at all.
In addition to the number of delivery rooms, License Renewal Applications also ask hospitals to report the number of births the hospital oversaw that year.
Lexington Medical Center saw a dramatic decline from 659 births in 2013 to 344 in 2018 before eventually closing its labor and delivery unit. If birth numbers drop and the hospital maintains the same level of service, the per-birth cost increases significantly, causing financial strain on the hospital.
The median number of births per hospital in North Carolina in 2018 was 443. Facilities that closed had birth volumes well below this number.
Many mothers in northwest NC now seek care in the urban center of Winston-Salem, at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Both of these facilities have greatly expanded capacity in the last five years, in part to account for the influx of patients from surrounding rural counties.
Women’s health care deserts don’t just impact women at the moment of birth. Women in these areas generally experience a lack of care throughout their entire pregnancies. This makes labor and delivery even more dangerous in places where care is further away, as worrisome conditions go unnoticed.
“Several years ago, we noticed that there weren’t any places to do prenatal care in the community in Alleghany,” Jen Greene, health director at AppHealthCare, told CPP.
“We decided that was a gap we needed to address for public health reasons. Those parents talked a lot about the apprehension they have about going into labor 45 minutes in any direction from a hospital. Some people choose to go over the state line into Virginia. But people want to have more options in their community.”
Northeastern NC: In northeast NC, 13 counties are without any hospital: Franklin, Camden, Currituck, Gates, Greene, Hyde, Jones, Warren, Northampton, Pamlico, Perquimans, Tyrell and Martin, whose hospital shuttered completely in 2023.
Two more counties have hospitals that don’t offer labor and delivery services: ECU Health Bertie in Bertie County and Washington Regional Medical Center in Washington County.
The latter facility went bankrupt in November 2024. Washington County has the highest infant mortality rate in NC. The rate of deaths for children of Black mothers there is five times higher than for white mothers.
Six out of the seven counties with the highest infant mortality rates in the state are in the east.
ECU Health owns eight hospitals in Eastern North Carolina. All are rural except their flagship facility in Greenville. The majority of high-risk deliveries in Eastern North Carolina take place at that hospital, according to ECU. Even so, the facility cut five delivery rooms there between 2013 and 2018.
ECU Health Edgecombe of Tarboro and ECU Health Roanoke Chowan of Ahoskie decreased their capacity by one room each over the years, according to the hospitals’ License Renewal Applications. The same is true for Wilson Medical Center in nearby Wilson County.
The health department in Hertford County has seen an increase in patients asking to receive prenatal care through the department rather than through the hospital in recent months, according to Amy Underhill, spokesperson for the Health Department.
This appears to be evidence of ECU Health quietly reducing services at its rural facilities, resulting in more women across northeastern NC travelling to Greenville or finding other options for care.
But ECU says otherwise.
“The licensed beds weren’t moved from those facilities; rather, the number of L&D (labor and delivery) rooms reported to the state in our license renewal applications was updated in 2019-2020 to reflect the way beds were being utilized, based on volume,” ECU Health spokesperson Brian Wudkwych told CPP.
One problem: No guidelines exist in the License Renewal Application for Hospitals specific to complete the part of the application relating to delivery rooms. How hospitals determine what number to report is entirely up to their discretion.
DHHS has very little regulatory oversight over hospitals’ level of maternity care and doesn’t even standardize the reporting process.
Far Western NC: Between 2013 and 2018, two hospitals eliminated labor and delivery services in far Western North Carolina: Transylvania Regional Hospital in Transylvania County and Angel Medical Center in Macon County,
Both of these hospitals are in the Asheville-based Mission Health network, as is the hospital in Mitchell County. They shuttered their maternity wards in the years before the biggest hospital corporation in the country, Tennessee-based HCA, purchased the previously nonprofit hospital group in 2019.
Yet another hospital in the region eliminated maternity services in 2019: Erlanger Murphy Medical Center in Cherokee County. The facility in Cherokee County was previously a locally owned community hospital, but acquired by the Erlanger group, an affiliate of University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine – Chattanooga. At the time, Erlanger gave assurances that its involvement would help sustain services.
Erlanger not only cut maternity services, but all obstetrics and gynecology offerings, CPP reported in 2019.
Nearby Swain County is home to two hospitals that don’t offer labor and delivery services: Swain Community Hospital, operated by Duke LifePoint, and the Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority, operated by the sovereign nation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
Four more counties in the region are without any hospital at all: Clay, Graham, Madison and Yancey.
Transylvania County, whose services were eliminated in 2015, named maternal health as one of its top priorities in its 2024 Community Health Assessment. In a survey the county conducted, 42% of respondents said maternal health and mortality was a major problem in the county.
“Our nursing director shared that patients loved the labor and delivery services at Transylvania Regional Hospital, but some had always traveled out of county for care due to preference,” said Tara Rybka, spokesperson for the Transylvania County health department.
“(The nursing director) also said that, prior to closing the Transylvania Regional labor and delivery services, providers observed that they were seeing more ‘sick’ babies and were concerned about their ability to provide adequate care and the likelihood of a bad outcome. In smaller communities like Transylvania County, it can be a challenge to fully staff the entire suite of health care providers needed for more complex deliveries, especially as the workforce ages and fewer providers are entering certain specialties.”
Southern NC: The Southern NC maternity care desert is characterized by isolated pockets of limited care access in counties adjacent to or near the South Carolina line. Anson County, and Montgomery County don’t have hospitals. Hoke County has two hospitals that don’t provide labor and delivery services, and neither does Pender County’s hospital.
Cape Fear Valley-Bladen County Hospital eliminated labor and delivery services in 2018, citing the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Florence. Hospitals in Sampson and Stanly counties have incrementally reduced services over the years.
The loss of services in just one county is enough to increase the risk for mothers and babies in that area.
On the other hand, Brunswick County, while still mostly rural, is the fastest-growing county in the state. Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center added four delivery rooms between 2018 and 2023.
Cases of increased care for rural women
Across North Carolina, a few hospitals like the one in Brunswick are bucking the trend of reducing and eliminating maternity care and other services for women.
In Western North Carolina, AdventHealth Hendersonville added 12 delivery rooms between 2013 and 2023. Columbus Regional Medical Center in Polk County added eight.
Harris Regional Hospital in Jackson County recently brought on more midwifery and OB/GYN personnel. Hospitals such as UNC Health Pardee in Henderson County and Haywood Regional Medical Center in Haywood County are focused on expanding their breast cancer screening and treatment services.
In Central North Carolina, Chatham County’s hospital, operated by UNC Health, added an entirely new maternity wing in 2020.
Outcomes of less access to labor and delivery services
When emergencies happen in childbirth, they happen fast. The difference between having a hospital within 20 minutes versus two hours away can have life-altering consequences for both mother and baby.
In late 2024, a woman in active labor showed up at the doors of Angel Medical Center in Macon County. Angel had closed its maternity ward in 2017.
The hospital put her in an ambulance and transferred her to Harris Regional Medical Center in Jackson County, according to Dolly Byrd, chair of the obstetrics department at Mountain Area Health Education Center, or MAHEC. The journey was supposed to take 30 minutes.
But it was too late. She delivered on the way. While she made it through, others in her position may not have been so lucky.
Transportation barriers compound the risks of childbirth, especially in the mountains. These long drives are the direct result of a decade of unit closures in Western North Carolina.
“The hospitals (in Western NC) that have labor and delivery units are primarily on that I-40 or I-26 corridor,” Byrd said.
“For those women who don’t live on those two major arteries, reaching labor and delivery services can take up to two hours. In the winter, on some pretty winding rural roads, the potential for treachery or a breakdown or inaccessible roads is increased.”
Now, Tropical Storm Helene has further isolated pregnant women and new mothers from life-saving care in Western North Carolina.
“(The storm) interrupted prenatal care (visits, rescheduling, transportation road closures), access to cooking, fresh food, clean water, hygiene for those who were displaced from their homes and those who lost power for weeks,” said Allison Rollans, owner of High Country Doulas.
“Those who could (leave) often left the area if they were in their late pregnancy or early postpartum. I am sure some even had their babies off the mountain. Mission Hospital in Asheville was greatly affected in its ability to keep labor and delivery open due to the major water issues there.”
Plus, long travel distances and storm-related road closures can be a reason why things like pap smears and breast cancer screenings go unscheduled, leaving life-threatening conditions undetected.
Potential mental health issues in new and expecting mothers, and women generally, are also exacerbated by a lack of local care.
“Geographic and social isolation absolutely contributes to somebody’s ability to cope postpartum,” Karen Burns, program director at NC Maternal Health Matters, told CPP.
The consolidation of maternal physical and mental health care away from North Carolina’s rural counties comes at a cost.
“Instead of building community in rural areas, these hospitals and entities are building distrust of their care,” Rollans said. “Parents don’t necessarily see a provider until they’re deep into labor.”
It is becoming increasingly common for women to schedule a labor induction or C-section at a hospital with a labor and delivery ward, and book a hotel room in that area around the date of delivery, Rollans said.
But a lot of women don’t have the knowledge or funds to support that kind of decision.
“Birth is a beautiful thing punctuated by moments of emergency and sometimes terror,” Byrd said.
“When complications arise, they often do so quickly and are usually unforeseen. Postpartum hemorrhage, emergencies with moms or babies, respiratory distress for infants — those need to be assessed and addressed quickly. We need to do better.”

Standing water makes mess for drivers on the road Sunday
SUMMARY: On Sunday, standing water created hazardous conditions for drivers across the Triangle region, as reported by Heidi Kirk from WL storm tracker. Over several hours, light rain and sporadic heavy showers resulted in water accumulation on roads, particularly noted on Capitol Boulevard and Hodes Street in Raleigh. Several vehicles struggled through the standing water, which posed a danger, especially with as little as 2 feet of rushing water capable of carrying away SUVs and trucks. There were also weather-related accidents on I-85 and US1 due to hydroplaning, though fortunately, injuries reported were not life-threatening. Drivers are advised to exercise caution.
It was a WRAL Weather Alert Day on Sunday, and many drivers across the Triangle were forced to deal with hazardous road conditions from the heavy rain.
