The North Carolina Election Board has removed approximately 747,000 names from the voter rolls, citing ineligibility. This includes 130,000 deceased individuals and 290,000 duplicate registrations. The removals represent about 10% of the total registered voters in the state. The action follows a lawsuit filed by Republicans, which identified 225,000 unlawfully registered names. Additionally, an investigation found that nine voters out of 7.7 million might not be U.S. citizens, prompting further investigations. Some voters were removed because they failed to vote in the last two cycles or moved out of state.
