## Reading

A 56% majority of Americans would let at least some of the disputed North Carolina voters cast ballots, according to an April 2025 Verasight survey. That includes 38% who say all U.S. citizens with legal ties to the state should be allowed to vote and 18% who would permit it only for those with strong legal or family ties, such as military or missionary families.

About a quarter (23%) say only those who have physically lived in the state should be eligible, while 21% are unsure or want more information.

## Topline

A North Carolina appeals court recently ruled that ballots cast by individuals who have never physically lived in the state but are registered there must be invalidated in the 2024 State Supreme Court election. This includes U.S. Citizens such as the children of military families or missionaries who turned 18 while living abroad and claimed North Carolina as their legal residence. Do you believe these voters should be allowed to vote in North Carolina elections?
