County election boards across North Carolina removed over 747,000 “ineligible” voters from state voter rolls over the past 20 months, making up just under 10% of the state’s total count of registered voters. Kerry Haynie, professor and chair of political science and professor of African American studies, pointed out that political parties can challenge individual voter registrations, which can result in voters being removed from state voter rolls as an act of voter suppression. Senior Chloe Decker, student chair of Duke Votes — a nonpartisan, student-led voter registration organization on campus — said students should not be significantly concerned about being taken off of voter rolls if they want to vote in North Carolina.
