North Carolina Mail-in Ballot Rules Upheld for Midterm Elections

• A federal judge ruled that North Carolina can keep its strict mail-in ballot rules for the November election.
• County election officials have rejected ballots for issues such as an unsealed 'inner' envelope.
• Voting rights groups are urging voters to fix their ballots or vote in other ways.
• The ruling was made too close to the election to change the rules again.
• The new rules were implemented just before ballots were mailed in September.
