Appeals Court could hear NC ‘ballot selfie’ case in mid-September
The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals could hear oral arguments in mid-September in a case challenging North Carolina’s ban against “ballot selfies.”
State government lawyers are defending North Carolina’s ban on “ballot selfies” in a new court filing at the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals.
The ban on ballot selfies narrowly serves the government's interest to hinder vote-buying operations and voter intimidation.
RALEIGH — FOX News and CNN reported Tuesday that the U.S. Department of Justice would be sending more than 400 elections monitors from its Civil Rights Division to 30 jurisdictions, including North Carolina. A USDOJ spokesman said North Carolina was not on the department’s radar this year, however.
