“Today the Trump-Vance Campaign is asking Governor Roy Cooper and the North Carolina General Assembly to swiftly enact an expansion of voter access for North Carolinians who live in the areas of the state suffering from the impact of Hurricane Helene. ‘These 10 improvements in voting access in North Carolina will ensure the people who have already suffered from the storm don’t lose their right to participate in this important election. Swift action from the North Carolina General Assembly and the Governor will ensure the people of their state have their voices heard on November 5th,’ said Trump-Vance Campaign Campaign Managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita.”
“(1) Ensure Election Day Voting Locations provide the ability for any voter in the impacted county to vote from that location, instead of just their local precinct. (2) Expanding bipartisan election official teams (known as MAT or Multipartisan Assistance Teams) to have the ability to assist displaced voters in requesting and delivering absentee ballots to the county boards. (3) Allow voters who have been displaced to another North Carolina county to have the ability to deliver their absentee ballot in the new county or to the State Board,” and so on, the campaign wrote in a press release.
We were to understand that changing the rules to expand voter access before an election, even if there’s a huge disaster that prevents people from voting in person, was a big no-no in 2020. And, even better, this press release came hours before another saying “RNC SUES TO STOP ILLEGAL VOTING FROM OVERSEAS.” Earlier on Tuesday: “RNC DEFENDS ELECTION INTEGRITY IN OHIO. Last month was “RNC FIGHTS ILLEGAL MAIL BALLOT POLICIES IN PENNSYLVANIA,” and so on.
