(The Center Square) – With just 10 days until in-person early voting begins in North Carolina, the State Board of Election voted unanimously to pass a resolution to assist with voting in the 13 most hard-hit counties.

Since Hurricane Helene first came ashore on Sept. 26, more than 230 lives have been lost across six different Southeastern states, with many still remaining missing. Damage estimates from the storm is in the tens of billions according to multiple analyses, with counties in western North Carolina being particularly devastated.

“This is an unprecedented amount of damage and destruction that’s been caused by this storm,” said board member Stacy Eggers, who lives in western North Carolina and gave an emotional statement during the board meeting. “Not only has it resulted in loss of life and personal property, but it has severely damaged the road systems, water systems, and communication systems up here in the High Country.”

Should be an interesting operation if they can pull it off. I am not sure how they will "bring voting" to those who are still trapped by washed out roads. Maybe airlift ballots to them? But at least the vast majority will be able to vote, it sounds like.

It’s a critically important operation. By November, everyone who is stuck on a mountain top or in a hollow will be accounted for and able to get to a town to vote.

Today is last day to register in Georgia. This should be extended if it hasn’t been.

The Democrats have already secured over 200 votes... Maybe even more.
