Former President Donald Trump's campaign on Tuesday said it was asking North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and the state legislature to expand voter access for those affected by the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita outlined 10 actions they believed would "ensure the people who have already suffered from the storm don't lose their right to participate in this important election."
The campaign is asking North Carolina leaders to:
- Allow voters to cast their ballot on Election Day in any part of the county and not just their local precinct.
- Expand bipartisan election official teams to help voters request and deliver absentee ballots.
- Allow voters who have been displaced to another county in North Carolina to deliver their absentee ballot in that new county or to the state board.
- Allow displaced voters to be able to vote with a provisional ballot on Election Day.
- Allocate emergency funds for communication with voters on updated ways they can vote.
- Allow affected county boards to use temporary structures as voting locations.
- Require absentee ballots that are returned in the county the voter is temporarily residing in to be returned to the voter's county board as soon as possible.
- Waive the county residency requirement for poll workers so they can work in affected counties.
- Waive the county residency requirement for poll observers.
- Waive the "uniformity requirement for Early Voting site times in the impacted counties, including the opportunity for voting on Sunday."
Absolutely disgusting. It's not important for those MAGAts to vote at this point, it's important for them to get their livelihood back.
