The state will have the only auditor in the country to have power over a board of elections. It could have significant effects on a legal battle over an uncertified race.

Nearly six months after he voted in the 2024 election, North Carolinian Josiah Young still isn’t sure if his ballot will be counted in a high-stakes race for a state Supreme Court seat.
