North Carolina Is Already Rejecting Black Voters’ Mail-In Ballots More Often Than White Voters’

In every election, a small percentage of mail-in ballots get rejected. But this election is. And in an election where a record number of voters are expected to cast their ballots by mail, you’re likely to hear a whole lot about ballots that don’t count, especially because voters of color have ballots rejected at a higher rate than white voters.

It’s already happening. In North Carolina, absentee ballots have already been sent back and the state has been updating statistics on those ballots daily. As of September 17, Black voters’ ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters, according to the state’s numbers.Black voters have mailed in 13,747 ballots, with 642 rejected, or 4.7 percent. White voters have cast 60,954 mail-in ballots, with 681 — or 1.1 percent — rejected.

The vast majority of these ballots were rejected because voters made a mistake or failed to fill out the witness information,according to state records. A rejected ballot does not necessarily mean the voter is denied his or her vote: North Carolina allows for a process called “vote curing,” where voters are notified that there’s a mistake and given a chance to fix their ballot.

FiveThirtyEight This is unimaginable as well as unconstitutional. Denying the right to cast a vote is unacceptable. The voters being denied their right, should join the Trump voters who are voting twice on his say so, put on masks and go to the polls. They may well be angry enough to risk it.
