Republicans ask North Carolina court to approve settlement that could expose voters to wrongful purges, investigations
Republican groups are asking a North Carolina court to approve a settlement that would expand how the state flags and removes suspected noncitizens from voter rolls — creating a new system that could send flagged voters to law enforcement and make sensitive data publicly available.
If approved, the deal would lock in a process that could lead to wrongful voter purges and expose eligible voters to legal investigations.
The filing submitted Monday asks the court to sign off on a proposed consent judgment — a legal agreement that would end the case without a ruling — between the North Carolina Republican Party, the Republican National Committee and the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Voting rights groups that intervened* in the case did not agree to the settlement, signaling ongoing concern about how the system could impact voters.
