About three weeks after last November's election, Spring Dawson-McClure received an unassuming postcard from the North Carolina GOP informing her that her ballot "may be affected" by the party's litigation. The notice, blank on one side, featured a QR code that directed her to the state Republican Party's website, where she found her name on a list of voters declared ineligible because their voter registration applications did not have required identification information.
She was annoyed, the 48-year-old Hillsborough resident told Salon, first by having to take time to verify with the Orange County board of elections that her voter registration was, in fact, complete and then with the idea her vote had been challenged at all. The North Carolina native said she has voted in 19 of the state's elections since 2012 and never had any problems before this election cycle.
