The United States Department of Justice has officially taken legal action against the North Carolina State Board of Elections for failing to follow federal election law, exposing what could be one of the largest voter registration scandals in recent history.
According to the complaint, over 200,000 individuals may be listed in North Carolina’s voter rolls without proper identification or legal registration, violating the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) — a federal law designed to ensure clean, accurate, and secure voter rolls in all 50 states.
This legal firestorm comes on the heels of President Trump’s March executive order aimed at preserving the integrity of America’s elections.
That order, Executive Order 14248, directed federal agencies to investigate and enforce laws guarding against illegal voting, fraud, and administrative failure.
