"Using early voting data as a way to gauge who will win or lose the election, they said, is like bringing a fishing pole to a home run derby - it’s just the wrong tool for the job."
"The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina may significantly affect turnout. In Buncombe County... there were only about 8,200 ballots cast on the first day of early voting in comparison to 33,000 in 2020."
"On Thursday, at a public library in Black Mountain, N.C., a purplish town in left-leaning Buncombe County where roughly 8,500 residents were still recovering from the aftermath of Helene, a line of voters stretched out the door."
"I know that thousands of North Carolinians lost so much in this storm. Their lives will never be the same after this tragedy," said Karen Brinson Bell, the executive director of the state board of elections.
