A coalition of North Carolina voters and civil rights organizations intervened in a federal lawsuit alleging that over 200,000 voters are at risk of being incorrectly removed from voter rolls due to incomplete registration data. The lawsuit purports that North Carolina's compliance with the Help America Vote Act is inadequate. The coalition aims to prevent the disenfranchisement of eligible voters, arguing that they complied fully with registration requirements and should not be penalized for the state's record-keeping failures.
"I believe in democracy and fighting for human rights. I cannot in good conscience claim to fight for other people's rights and let my own get taken away," said Gabriela Adler-Espino, a voter in Craven County who lives abroad with her husband who is in the military.
The lawsuit claims the state is not complying with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), based on alleged missing information in voter registration databases, and seeks to compel a process that requires affected voters to resubmit personal information to remain on the rolls.
