After CBS recently ran a news piece on Sept. 3 saying President Trump encouraged North Carolina voters to break the law and vote twice, state Rep. Larry Yarborough (R-Granville) said that, on reviewing the video of what Trump actually said, he believes CBS’s story was misleading.
After watching the entire video, Yarborough posted to his official Facebook page that same day that he believed Trump only meant for voters to go in person to their designated polling place on election day to confirm their mail-in ballots were counted.
However, Yarborough also included the text of a press release from Karen Bell, executive director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections, detailing other options voters have for checking to ensure their absentee ballot is counted. The release also enumerates the various protections in place in North Carolina to prevent a person’s voted from being counted twice by both mailing in a ballot and voting in person.
Bell identified three ways for checking that a ballot is counted, including checking the voter record using the voter search tool at NCSBE.gov, using the new BallotTrax service – also at NCSBE.gov – to track a ballot’s progress in the system, and contacting the local board of elections.
