Data compiled by Common Cause North Carolina with the Southern Coalition for Social Justice from 27 of the state's 100 counties shows an overall rejection rate of about 3%, double the 2022 national rate, with some Democratic strongholds at 7-8%; Guilford, Wake and Durham counties each show roughly 2-2.5% of ballots rejected solely for failing to seal the new inner envelope.
