The data released by North Carolina showed that 289,902 registrations had been removed because the voter moved within the state, while 246,311 had been removed due to inactive status. A staggering 130,688 registrations were purged from the voter rolls because the voter was deceased. The data also showed that 31,242 registrations were removed from the rolls because the voter had moved out of North Carolina, while 26,939 were found to be duplicates that the State Board of Elections either merged with a newer existing registration or removed. Another 18,883 were removed from the voter rolls because the individual had a felony conviction and 2,329 were removed at the request of the voter, and the remaining 980 were removed with the board simply citing “other.”

This equals a total of 747,274 ineligible voters, which represents 10% of the roughly 7.7 million registered voters in North Carolina, a key swing state in the upcoming November election, meaning that every ineligible vote cast could allow a candidate to fraudulently win the election.

In a press release about the voter roll purge, the North Carolina State Board of Elections explained that the total number of ineligible voters removed equals an average of 1,200 removals per day over the 20-month period.

“The county boards follow careful policies to ensure that only ineligible records are removed, not those of eligible voters,” the press release read.

The voter roll purge came after a lawsuit was filed by North Carolina Republicans claiming that the state had failed to act in response to reports of ineligible individuals on its voter registration rolls.

“By failing to collect certain statutorily required information prior to registering these applicants to vote, Defendants placed the integrity of the state’s elections into jeopardy,” the lawsuit stated.
