Helene-Hit States Making Few Election-Rule Changes in Storm’s Wake

In Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee, voter registration deadlines have expired. South Carolina extended to Oct. 14. North Carolina lawmakers still to discuss.

Voter registration deadlines for three of the states hardest hit by Hurricane Helene—Florida, Tennessee, Georgia—have expired while South Carolina’s Oct. 6 voter registration deadline has been extended to Oct. 14 and North Carolina’s remains Oct. 11, although voters can register in-person during the Oct. 17–Nov. 2 early voting period.

There could be changes in the 25 disaster area counties in western North Carolina. The state Legislature convenes a special session Oct. 9 in Raleigh. Among possible adjustments is providing counties in some disaster areas permission and money to relocate polling sites, create new emergency polling places, and extend both the Oct. 11 registration deadline and the Election Day deadline for mail-in ballots to be received.

North Carolina State Board of Elections (SBE) spokesperson Patrick Gannon told reporters last week, and again on Oct. 7, that there were no major changes or accommodations approved for areas hit by Helene.

North Carolina’s SBE website doesn’t post ballots requested and returned in aggregate, but Gannon told reporters last week that about 40,000 requested absentee ballots were mailed to voters in the 25 North Carolina disaster-area counties by Sept. 26 and that fewer than 1,000 had been returned.

The mail floated off with the rest of their belongings. Allow them to vote in person.

All of our people are already registered. Extending registration deadlines gives the rats more opportunity to register non-existent voters.

“All of our people are already registered. Extending registration deadlines gives the rats more opportunity to register non-existent voters.”

Exactly.
