Donald Trump's 2020 campaign along with the RNC (Republican National Committee) is suing the NCSBE (North Carolina State Board of Elections) following the board's latest legal settlement that makes rules controlling absentee ballots less restrictive. Two NCSBE members have recently resigned.

RNC spokesperson Mandi Merritt accused North Carolina Democrats in a statement released to Fox News of conspiring in a backroom deal to change North Carolina’s election procedures just days ahead of the Election Day. In her statement, Merritt went on to explain that the new system will enable ballots to be cast late without requiring proper witness verification, which will lead to voter fraud.

With an inrush of mail-in voting, she said it is more important than ever to protect election safeguards and confidence in the process. A North Carolina Democratic Party spokesman described the lawsuit as a "despicable attempt to shake the public’s faith in the process and scare off new voters."

the party's spokesman pointed that with over one million absentee ballots already requested, and nearly 250,000 returned and accepted, the lawsuit isn't clearly working. The elections board introduced new guidance on Tuesday allowing mail-in absentee ballots with lack of information to be fixed without requiring the voter to fill out the new blank ballot for the Nov. general election.

Democratic lawyer Marc Elias who was involved in the process of suing the North Carolina court to seek the changes and has been associated with similar absentee ballot litigation somewhere else lauded the decision. The steps the board agreed to take will enfranchise thousands of voters, or even more, tweeted Elias, who assisted the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans in the lawsuit.

The changes will enable absentee voters who do not provide complete information on their envelope about a witness who saw them fill out the ballot, will not be required to complete a new ballot and find another witness. All the voter needs to do now is to provide an affidavit confirming they filled out the original ballot.

The suit follows the resignation of the only two Republicans on the five-person state elections board, David Black and Ken Raymond. They submitted their resignation on Wednesday, claiming they were misguided about the consequences of the board's recent legal settlement.

The board's Democratic chairman, Damon Circosta deemed their claims untrue. Black's wife, Deb Black sparked controversies when she wrote on Facebook that the Republicans were urged to resign, The Charlotte Observer reported. Black said what his wife wrote are obvious details, adding that she sometimes tends to get defensive.
