Grounds for challenging a Voter
Custom Search
At a recent NC State Board of Elections State Meeting, a staff member of the NCSBOE remarked about "serial challengers". It was a snide remark. A serial challenger challenges the right of voters to vote. They do that because the law make the voters of North Carolina the "Election Police". Now if you are going to challenge a voter, it is necessary that you do everything that you can to provide ample evidence to support the challenge of that voter. Serial Challengers believe that anyone who votes fraudently in any precinct, municipality, county, state primary or election suppresses the rights of a rightful voter's vote to be counted.
