North Carolina has more than 3,600 duplicate voter registration records, according to a complaint from an election watchdog.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation filed a complaint with the North Carolina State Board of Elections that identified 3,674 matched voter registration records across 94 of the state’s 100 counties.

The finding comes as one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country could determine control of the chamber. Former Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper faces former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley.

“North Carolina is not complying with the requirement to eliminate duplicate names from the official list of eligible voters,” the complaint says. “Absent relief, the November 3, 2026, General Election in North Carolina will be conducted using an inaccurate voter registration list.”

The complaint asserts that the 2002 federal Help America Vote Act requires states receiving federal grant money to maintain a uniform, centralized, interactive, computerized statewide voter registration list that is defined, maintained and administered at the state level and contains the name and registration information of every legally registered voter in the state.

Duplicate records include not only matching full names but also slight name variations or nicknames with the same address and birth date. 

Earlier this month, the foundation reviewed records of the state’s 10 largest counties and found 1,200 duplicate registration records. The foundation conducted a broader evaluation and determined the statewide total of 3,674.

The complaint says that after the foundation notified the state board in September about the 1,200 records, the board did not respond.

While duplicate registration does not mean people are voting more than once, it could provide an opportunity to do so. Since 2015, the state has had 30 elections decided by one vote or ending in a tie, according to the foundation’s database of elections. The tally includes mostly local elections and three state legislative races.

In August, the North Carolina State Board of Elections launched the “Registration Repair Project” to collect identification numbers from registered voters who do not have a driver’s license/DMV ID number or Social Security number in the state’s voter registration database. It sent letters to 82,000 registered voters who did not provide the necessary information to election officials. 

“North Carolina has made significant progress in cleaning up its voter rolls, and the board deserves credit for removing thousands of duplicate registrations,” Public Interest Legal Foundation communications director Amanda Fischer said in a public statement. “PILF’s expanded review shows that more work is needed. Accurate voter rolls are vital to public confidence in elections.”

The North Carolina State Board of Elections did not respond to an inquiry from the Daily Signal.

‘Demeaning to grandparents’

The Justice Department is seeking to remove two federal judges in Minnesota from separate immigration-related cases, arguing that their public criticism of President Donald Trump's enforcement policies casts doubt on their impartiality.

‘Cannot replace the refining capacity we’ve lost’

On Wednesday, the Trump administration filed an emergency appeal asking the U.S. Supreme Court to lift a lower court’s decision to halt border wall construction in the Texas Big Bend region. 

The U.S. Department of Justice is asking justices to allow the administration to resume building the border wall, saying the Big Bend region has a high illegal entry rate and is a concern for drug smuggling. 

“The district court’s injunction significantly frustrates the government’s ability to stop the flow of illegal aliens and drugs across the southern border,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the request for emergency relief, according to CBS News. “The Secretary identified the Big Bend project areas at issue because of the high rates of illegal-alien crossings and drug smuggling in the region over the past several years.” 

The Big Bend border wall would span roughly 175 miles across Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, and Presidio counties. 

However, since President Donald Trump announced plans to build border barriers and roads in February, it has become a point of contention and controversy among local ranchers, business owners, and environmentalists. 

Earlier this month, federal Judge Kathleen Cardone issued a temporary injunction blocking the Trump administration from continuing construction in the area after those opposed to the project filed multiple lawsuits to stop the project. 

Cardone said that the plaintiffs were “likely” to succeed on the merits of at least one of the claims, that there is “a likelihood that they will suffer serious, irreparable harm without an injunction.”

However, it’s not only locals and organizations that find the construction problematic, as both candidates running to represent Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, which encompasses the Big Bend region and Big Bend Ranch State Park, have said they would oppose a border wall that disturbs the Big Bend region. 

“I will not be voting for anything that includes funding for a physical barrier that disrupts Big Bend. That is something that I’ve been the leading voice on the conservative side for,” Republican candidate Brandon Herrera said. 

Democrat Katy Padilla Stout said she and her campaign are against the wall. 

“Our campaign and myself believe in no wall with no exceptions, and you can absolutely take that to the bank,” Padilla Stout said. 

The federal government maintains that it has the right to construct the border wall under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which states that the secretary of homeland security has the power to waive all legal requirements necessary to ensure expeditious construction of border walls and roads to curb illegal immigration. 

Before the case was sent to the Supreme Court, the Trump administration had asked Cardone to pause her decision, which she rejected.
