More than 1,600 ballots thrown out in NC primary elections
More than 1,600 ballots were rejected in the March 5 primary election, according to data from the North Carolina Board of Elections. This was the first statewide election since 2014 to require voter ID, due to a court ruling that enacted the law after a long legal battle, as well as the first to implement a tighter deadline for mail-in ballots.
