Democrats, Republicans strike deal on North Carolina voter rolls
The settlement ends lawsuits over 250,000 registrations missing key IDs and allows 73,000 voters to update registrations while casting ballots, preserving their voting rights.
- On Monday, a settlement signed by the Democratic and Republican parties gives more than 73,000 North Carolinians extra time to show ID and remain on voter rolls.
- After the lawsuit, the DNC intervened as the North Carolina Board of Elections began updating registrations last year and sent letters to roughly 82,000 voters.
- Under the settlement, affected voters will remain on rolls and have registrations updated when presenting ID, while those without requested identifiers will cast provisional ballots and provide other documents to election officials.
- Political consequences include a near-term setback for Republicans after Monday's settlement that could have potentially changed one or more U.S. House elections in closely divided North Carolina.
- Officials note that around 100,000 voters lacked an identifier like a driver's license number as of last summer, while the North Carolina State Board of Elections continued updating registrations last year.
