NC court rules UNC digital IDs not valid at the polls
The North Carolina Court of Appeals on Friday overturned a lower court's decision to accept the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s mobile One Card as valid voter identification.
The ruling supported the plaintiff’s argument that the digital ID would make it easier for ineligible voters to cast ballots and violate a state law that prohibits mobile use during voting.
An unnamed group of three judges approved the appeal from the Republican National Committee and the N.C. Republican Party unanimously today which can be appealed at the federal level.
DNC attorneys say that preventing its use could confuse or even disenfranchise up to 40,000 people who work or attend the school so close to the election according to ABC. Former President Trump has a .6 percent lead in the battleground state which could be crucial in determining the next commander-in-chief.
The Hill reached out to UNC and the State Board of Elections for comment.
