Hurricane-hit battleground states face additional voting hurdles in run-up to Election Day
Fox News
Voters in storm-ravaged parts of North Carolina and other Southern states could have limited access to the polls this November.
In North Carolina, efforts have been focused on helping displaced residents access polling locations in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which barreled onto shore last month as a Category 4 storm, killing more than 220 people and causing billions of dollars in destruction. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
The bulk of the storm's destruction was concentrated in western North Carolina and in Georgia, two competitive states that could play a key role in determining the next president. Roughly 17% of North Carolina’s registered voters reside in the counties that were designated as disaster areas in the aftermath of Helene, Michael Bitzer, a professor of politics and history at Catawba College, previously told Fox News.
