Overseas voters who have never lived in North Carolina will still be allowed to cast state ballots in the 2024 election, after the North Carolina Court of Appeals denied a petition from the Republican National Committee (RNC).

A unanimous panel of three appeals court judges denied the RNC’s request to block an order from a lower court. Wake County Superior Court Judge John W. Smith recently denied the RNC’s motion for a preliminary injunction, finding that Republicans had not provided substantial evidence showing that people who should not be voting have voted.
