North Carolina GOP Challenges Absentee Ballot Guidance

Lawsuit claims state election board's memo undermines statutory requirements for absentee voting.

The lawsuit targets a 2021 memo from the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Plaintiffs argue the memo contradicts laws requiring sealed envelopes for absentee ballots.
This is the sixth lawsuit against the board in 43 days, highlighting ongoing election disputes.
Republicans demand the board rescind the memo and enforce state absentee voting laws as written.
The case seeks a court ruling to ensure compliance with statutory absentee ballot procedures.
