Court Allows North Carolina Mail-In Ballot Extension
According to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, North Carolina will have an extra 6-days on top of their previous 3-day extension. Ballots cast by mail must still be postmarked on or before Election Day, but as long as they are received by November 12, they can be counted. Appeals courts have blocked ’mail-in ballot deadline extensions’ in Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
