There are less than 28 days left until the November 3rd election and the closer we get, the more vigilant we have to be about responding to Republican efforts to suppress the vote.
According to data published by the US Elections Project at the University of Florida, 11.7 percent of ballots in Guilford remain unapproved. Rural Scotland County on the South Carolina state line ranks a distant second, with 5.6 percent of ballots unapproved.
Beyond its singular distinction for having the highest number of unapproved ballots in the state, Guilford County conforms to a statewide racial disparity in which ballots cast by Black voters are significantly more likely to be rejected than their white counterparts. Guilford County holds the third largest pool of Black voters in the state, with 123,087 on the rolls, and only in Durham County do Black voters make up a larger share of the overall electorate.

Tomas Lopez, Executive Director of Democracy North Carolina spoke with Roland Martin during Monday’s edition of #RMU about the high rate of mail-in ballots being rejected in Guilford Country.
