Republicans sued the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) over the recent decision to allow digital identification cards to be used by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s (UNC) employees and students for voting.

State law does not prevent UNC-Chapel Hill students from using their university-issued mobile identification cards as voter ID, a Wake County judge ruled Thursday. State and national Republicans sued the state Board of Elections over its party-line approval of UNC-Chapel Hill’s mobileOne cards as acceptable identification for use at the polls.
