Reports of missing registrations in North Carolina are coming into the Election Protection hotline from voters who tried to register through the state Department of Motor Vehicles. Riggs said that should help protect the ballots — but not if voters are turned away or not offered the new forms. Voting rights advocates have been pushing for improvements to the department’s efforts for more than a year. A hotline team of lawyers, election advocates and law students at the University of North Carolina Law School is tracking dozens of voting issues, including some isolated calls on intimidation, Riggs said. Voters are being checked in using paper voter lists.
