WASHINGTON – Last week, the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) corrected their guidance to allow county board of elections to expand the number of early voting sites for hurricane-impacted voters. The Democrat members of the Henderson County board has refused to expand these sites, despite the actions of the NCSBE and the North Carolina Legislature's new law.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement: "It is unacceptable for Henderson County Democrats to refuse to expand voting access for victims of the hurricane. The Democrat board members should use their power to help victims of the hurricane, not make it more difficult for them to exercise their voting rights. This blatant election interference by North Carolina Democrats will not be tolerated, and we are demanding they expand voting sites immediately."
