Origin: North Carolina board restricts absentee ballots
The North Carolina State Board of Elections voted 3-2 along party lines to approve new restrictions on absentee voting. The board adopted two memos setting the rules just hours before ballots were set to be mailed.
The memos make it harder for voters to return absentee ballots. They also make it easier for counties to reject those ballots. The board revisited the measures after more than 10 people filed formal objections.
North Carolina began sending out absentee ballots Friday. By noon, ballots had to be available and distributed to military and overseas voters.
