North Carolina BOE Attempting Mass Voter Purge; Public Comments Due TODAY
North Carolina’s State Board of Elections has proposed new rules that would use the federal SAVE database to flag and purge voters suspected of non‑citizenship. The SAVE system has a history of misidentifying citizens, with a Missouri audit showing 35 % of flagged voters were actually citizens. Critics argue the measures violate the National Voter Registration Act, provide inadequate notice, and could disproportionately affect women, immigrants, and rural residents. The public comment deadline is March 16, prompting advocacy groups to urge immediate feedback.
