North and South Carolina Report Ballot Issues
October 19, 2024 | Sundance

When you consider the probability that both govt and private sector are generating ballots, then you evaluate ballot centric issues accordingly.  County level ballots from two different feeder sources can present a problem at the scanning and tabulation stage, if there is any variance to them.
 
South Carolina – Berkeley County issued a statement Wednesday, Oct. 16, announcing certain voters are receiving duplicate absentee ballots. The announcement included that the county’s Department of Elections and Voter Registration is in contact with the state election commission about the incidents.

[…] “There were 246 absentee voters that were affected and did receive two ballots from the vendor that we use,” said Berkeley County elections director Rosie Brown. “I spoke to the state election commission, and they said there was a clerical error. But, doing our processes, all of our numbers matched, so I am not understanding the clerical error.” (link)

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.

Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

“Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,” western North Carolina native Clay McCreary said, according to The Carolina Journal. McReary is North Carolina political director of Restoration of America, an organization that has been advocating for additional voting opportunities in the disaster area. “We simply cannot allow the people of western North Carolina who have lost so much to lose their voice in the political process.”
