“Open the door”
of North Carolina The National Commission on Elections (NCSBE) is facing a new lawsuit as the Republican National Committee (RNC) sues battleground states for opening the door to voting for people from outside the state.
The lawsuit, filed last week in Wake County by the Republican National Committee and the North Carolina Republican Party, accuses the NCSBE and its members Alan Hirsch, Jeff Carmon, Siobhan Millen, Stacey Eggers IV and Kevin Lewis of failing to require people to show identification to prove their citizenship.
The lawsuit alleges that the elections department violated the Help America Vote Act by not checking the identification of approximately 225,000 voters, “opening the door to voting for non-U.S. citizens.”
North Carolina is the first state in the nation to open voting. Battleground states begin voting by mail The vote will go to voters on September 6th.
“NCSBE has once again failed in its job to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls, raising doubts and putting our elections at risk,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement. “We are committed to fundamental principles and common-sense laws that state that America's elections are decided solely by Americans. Willfully failing to follow the law so soon after one of our nation's most important elections is unacceptable. We will fight every day to ensure that NCSBE follows the law, cleans the voter rolls, and protects North Carolinians' right to vote.”…read more

According to Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRANA), a non-political and non-governmental organization that aims to defend human rights, at least 746 people were executed in Iran in 2023.
