The North Carolina Election Board has removed 747,000 names from the voter rolls, citing ineligibility. The purge includes 130,000 deceased individuals and 290,000 duplicate registrations. This action follows a lawsuit filed by Republicans, which highlighted 225,000 unlawfully registered names. The removals represent about 10% of the total registered voters in the state and were conducted over the past twenty months. The board's decision aims to ensure the integrity of the voter rolls ahead of upcoming elections.
