North Carolina Election Officials Concerned Over Hurricane Helene’s Impact on Voting

As North Carolina continues to recover from the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene, election officials are expressing concerns about the impact the storm may have on upcoming voting in the state. The western part of North Carolina, which was hit hardest by Helene, remains in recovery mode, with many residents still dealing with power outages, damaged infrastructure, and limited access to polling locations.

In response to these challenges, state officials have passed emergency measures this week aimed at making it easier for survivors of the hurricane to cast their votes. . .
