Hmm: 11% of mail ballots that have been returned in North Carolina& #39;s Guilford County (Greensboro) have been rejected, per @ElectProject& #39;s https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/NC.html
That& #39;s">https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vot... more than 6 times the statewide rejection rate. A third of all ballots rejected statewide are in Guilford.

20% of mail ballots returned by black voters in Guilford County have been rejected so far, compared to 7% of those returned by white voters.
These voters should be contacted by county, & get to fix, tho that demands further action & mobilization. Anyone in state can track ballot here: https://northcarolina.ballottrax.net/voter/ ">https://northcarolina.ballottrax.net/voter/&qu...
& a reminder there’s a statewide battle under way on how easy it ought to be to fix: https://twitter.com/ElectProject/status/1311845545690959872">https://twitter.com/ElectProj...

More info/qualification: County says 60% of these ballots not "actually rejected," but "in limbo" on "whether" to approve. https://hpenews.com/news/27194/absentee-voting-remains-brisk/">https://hpenews.com/news/2719... (via @redistrict)
But: rate of even just "rejected" ones > than statewide. & 99 other counties outright accepting far more ballots.

Finally: Guilford& #39;s situation exceptional (Mecklenburg has accepted 99% of returns; 98% statewide; 89% in Guilford as of now), but racial disparity is a problem statewide.
