NC Policy Watch: “More than 7,000 people wrote the State Board of Elections with their thoughts on the state Republican Party request to allow county elections officials to verify mail-in ballots by matching ballot signatures with those on voter registration documents.
Most commenters opposed allowing local elections officials to use signature matching, with hundreds of people calling the request an attempt to suppress votes.
The board will consider the GOP request Thursday morning. Lawyers requesting the change indicated they will go to court if the board rejects the idea. The elections board holds online meetings that the public can listen to or watch.“
