Thousands of NC mail ballots rejected in 2024 would have been accepted under abolished grace period

A total of 2,382 North Carolina voters saw their ballots rejected this November because they arrived in the three days after Election Day, according to new data from the State Board of Elections. But those votes would have counted if not for a law passed by the General Assembly in 2023 ending the three-day grace period for late-arriving ballots. While slightly more of the voters who saw ballots rejected were registered as Democrats than Republicans, at 692 and 536 respectively, nearly half came from unaffiliated voters, who cast 1,113 of the late ballots. The final 41 came from voters registered with third parties, such as the Green Party. Brandon Kingdollar, North Carolina Newsline.
