Statewide, Black voters make up only 16% of total ballot returns, but they account for almost 40% of the ballots labeled as “pending” or “pending cure,” meaning there is something wrong with them that would prevent them from being accepted.
Almost 1,000 absentee ballots are sitting in a locked bin somewhere in the Guilford County Board of Elections waiting to be processed.
At least two voters in Greensboro, North Carolina, part of Guilford County, had no idea their ballots were sitting in that pile. More on Voting Vincent Gager, a 48-year-old Black man, and his 83-year-old father Nathaniel mailed in their ballots on September 4. They wanted to vote by mail to avoid exposure to Covid-19. Over a month later, neither man had any idea their ballot had been listed as"pending cure" -- which meant there was something wrong with them that would prevent them being accepted.
