North Carolina officials are investigating fourteen cases of voter intimidation, voter interference or interference with elections officials around the state, information obtained by Reuters reports, as incidents across the country increase thanks to Republican election denialism.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections is tracking eight instances of potential voter intimidation, one of potential voter interference and five of potential interference with election workers during early voting, according to Reuters. The incidents, reported on the county level, are spread across nine counties, including the home of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County.
A Mecklenburg County report says a group of self-appointed observers harassed election workers returning to their office, taking their photos and recording their license plate numbers. In Columbus County, an election worker reported being followed home from work.
