North Carolina Voting Provision May Have Major Impact On Election Because Of Hurricane Helene | The Daily Caller

With 34 days to go until Nov. 4, a North Carolina voting provision may throw a wrench in the election thanks to a disaster declaration implemented following Hurricane Helene.

On Sunday, President Joe Biden approved a major disaster declaration for North Carolina, whose western region has been ravaged by Hurricane Helene. Forty people have died in Buncombe County alone, which is home to Asheville and its surrounding suburbs. North Carolina s laws state that a prospective voter must present a form of photo ID, but voters can circumvent this restriction in the event of a natural disaster that prompts a major disaster declaration from either the governor or the president. 

A bulletin on the Buncombe County website states that voters without identification may still vote if they sign an affidavit of reasonable impediment. It also notes the exception form can also be used if you have a religious exception to being photographed or are a victim of a recently declared natural disaster.

North Carolina s statutes explain that a prospective voter who fails to provide a photo ID may still fill out a provisional ballot if they fall victim to a natural disaster. The disaster must have occurred within 100 days before election day that resulted in a disaster declaration by the President of the United States or the Governor of this State. In this case, a voter simply has to fill out an affidavit to be reviewed by the county s board of elections.

But the disaster victims may not be in the mood to vote for Harris. So this might be good for Trump.
