North Carolina's ballots were scheduled to start going out on Friday, but a legal battle has caused a delay. The North Carolina State Election Board is seeking the state Supreme Court's intervention to overturn a lower court ruling that ordered the removal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s name from the ballot. This dispute has put county election officials in a holding pattern until the issue is resolved, highlighting the state's significance as a critical battleground in the upcoming election.
The delay in sending out ballots has raised concerns as it marks the official start of the voting process for the general election. Both the Trump and Harris campaigns are intensifying their efforts in North Carolina, recognizing its pivotal role in determining the outcome of the race for the White House.
