Due to redistricting confusion, ballots in question for voters at Warren Wilson College
November 5, 2012
ASHVILLE, NC — Last night, attorneys from the national voting rights organization Project Vote sent a letter to election officials in Buncombe County, as well as to the State Board of Elections, expressing concern over the possible disenfranchisement of more than 1,000 students, faculty, and staff members who reside at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa.
Residents of the small liberal arts college have always registered to vote using the address of the campus’s central mail facility at 701 Warren Wilson Road. However, a redistricting plan passed by the North Carolina legislature in 2011 drew a line straight down the middle of the campus, putting dorms on the north side in one state legislative district and dorms on the south side in another.
Unfortunately, no one told the people who live there until this past week, after early voting in North Carolina had already begun.
