The Republican National Committee is asking for the North Carolina State Board of Elections to revise its guidance and rules to follow the letter and spirit of the state’s election integrity laws.

On May 20, the RNC, the North Carolina Republican Party, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and a Pasquotank County, North Carolina, voter sent a letter to the Board of Elections alleging the Board “promulgated administrative rules and ... issued guidance regarding the implementation of voter ID and absentee ballot law which conflict with certain statutes enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly.”
