Voters in Western North Carolina won’t be thinking about the upcoming election. They won’t be seeing campaign ads on TV or posts on social media. No door knocking or phone banks will urge them to vote. Surrounded by devastation and struggling to recover, many won’t get to their polling place despite their previous intention; where they would vote is not likely to be the same place as before the storm.
It’s reasonable to expect a significantly lower turnout from the hardest hit areas. So it’s up to the rest of the state to vote with what Thomas points out in mind.
It may be an old, trite saying but in this election the stakes are critically high.
If it weren't for RFK Jr's shenanigans, many NC Voters woud have already received their mail in ballots by now.
Does anyone know the fate of Board of Elections offices in effected counties? I'm pretty sure you can drop by a BoE offices request the form for an absentee ballot and pick it up while you are there. If not they should be working on that capabiity. Hopefully power will be restored by the time EV starts on Oct 17th

He is such a charlatan. Unforgivable.
