US EditionTrump administration sues North Carolina over voter rolls
- The Trump administration sued North Carolina and its State Board of Elections on May 27, 2025, accusing them of violating federal voter registration laws.
- The lawsuit follows a 2024 GOP-led change to the elections board and alleges failure to require voter identification information as mandated by the 2002 Help America Vote Act.
- The board previously acknowledged in late 2023 that the voter registration form lacked clarity on providing a driver’s license or Social Security number, and it declined to contact voters registered since 2004 before the 2024 election.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon highlighted the importance of maintaining precise voter registration records in North Carolina to guarantee that elections are fair, accurate, and free from fraudulent activity, noting that around 225,000 registrations were missing required identifying information.
- The Justice Department seeks a court order giving the state 30 days to develop a plan to obtain missing identifying numbers and update the electronic voter rolls before future elections.
