The leader of an "election protection" group reportedly told members of an activist group to flag voters with "Hispanic-sounding last names" when seeking to identify potentially suspicious registrations ahead of the elections in North Carolina.
Speaking to 1,800 volunteers at a virtual meeting, James Womack, chair of the Republican Party in Lee County, said: "If you've got folks that you, that were registered, and they're missing information... and they were registered in the last 90 days before the election, and they've got Hispanic-sounding last names, that probably is a suspicious voter," he said, according to CBS News. "It doesn't mean they're illegal. It just means they're suspicious," he added.
