In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s path of destruction through the Southeast, including critical swing states like North Carolina, state election officials have made adjustments to voting rules in response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene.
The North Carolina Elections Board, in a ‘bipartisan effort,’ passed an emergency resolution aimed at facilitating early voting in 13 counties severely affected by the hurricane.

Notably, all but one of these counties—Buncombe—voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, according to Fox News.
This raises questions about whether the adjustments are truly about aiding displaced voters or if they are a tactical maneuver to sway the electoral landscape in favor of Democrats.
The adjustments include:
- Expanded Voting Sites: Additional or modified voting locations will be made available to accommodate displaced residents.
- Extended Voting Hours: Polling places will have longer hours to ensure everyone can cast their ballot.
- Absentee Ballot Flexibility: Voters can now submit absentee ballots to any county’s election board, rather than being restricted to their local board. The deadline for requesting absentee ballots has also been pushed back to November 4.
- Assistance team to help collect absentee ballot
While these changes may seem beneficial on the surface, conservative critics are voicing concerns about potential voter fraud and the integrity of the electoral process. How can we ensure that these ballots are legitimate when voters can submit them anywhere in the state?
