NC Voter Rolls Show Over 1,200 Potential Duplicates
Conservative group finds errors in North Carolina’s voter rolls, urging election board to verify records.

A conservative legal group has identified over 1,200 potentially duplicated voter registrations in North Carolina, raising concerns about the accuracy of the state’s voter rolls. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative organization, notified the North Carolina State Board of Elections of its findings after reviewing voter data from the state’s 10 most populous counties.
Apparent Errors in Voter Records
The review revealed that many of the flagged records shared the same birth year and address as another registration, potentially indicating duplicate entries. Logan Churchwell, the group’s research director, emphasized the need for immediate action, stating that the board should investigate the duplicates and implement a pollbook verification system to ensure accurate records for the upcoming election.
Half of the potentially duplicate registrations were found in Guilford and Cumberland counties, according to the foundation. Churchwell noted that the errors likely resulted from variations in name spellings, nicknames, typographical errors, or confusion over married names.
Request for Official Response
The foundation requested an official response from the Board of Elections by October 13 and warned of potential legal action under the Help America Vote Act if the board failed to address the issue. Churchwell also highlighted the state’s recent improvements in voter roll accuracy, noting that the current records show the impact of recent reforms.
“This letter is intended to help the board finish that work,” Churchwell said. “The goal is to help North Carolina complete the job, move one step closer to ensuring one person, one vote, and have their voter rolls squared away before Election Day in November.”
The Daily Wire reached out to the Board of Elections but did not receive an immediate response. The findings underscore the importance of maintaining accurate and up-to-date voter rolls to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
