18. NC has a great election system

Sep 2020

Our Secretary of State, who oversees elections, is a Democrat and she has been in office a long time.

Our governor is also now a Democrat (after 4 years of McCrory) and the governor has a lot of power over how elections are run.

Do these people just think that anyone can print off multiple ballots and just send them in? Or that somehow the mail-in ballots aren't verified in some way?

During the primary in my little town in the northwest corner of NC, someone came in to vote and they were accidentally given two ballots that were stuck together. When the ballots went into the box and were counted, the error was discovered and the extra blank ballot removed. Election officials know their shit.
