The North Carolina State Election Commission announced the removal of nearly 750,000 ineligible registered voters, accounting for 9.7% of the voting population of 7.7 million. Several weeks ago, Republicans collectively sued the North Carolina government for failing to collect statutory voter qualification information prior to registration, resulting in a large number of unqualified registered voters. As the North Carolina governor's race is highly competitive, with Republican Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson and Democratic Josh Stein neck and neck in strength, and the state is one of seven swing states, the election is receiving attention from all sides. The polls for Harris and Mr. Know-it-all are also close, adding to the suspense of the election.
