North Carolina State Board of Elections employee on leave after internal debate [View all]

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A State Board of Elections employee is on leave after an internal disagreement centered around what another spokesperson calls misinformation.

Earlier this month, a voter search tool went offline for a few hours. Anderson Clayton, Chair of the state’s Democratic Party, released a statement saying voters and poll workers were impacted.

She wrote: “When Dave Boliek first took over the Board of Elections he removed career election professionals to fill his leadership with inexperienced, partisan appointees. Now, on the last day of early voting before our municipal elections, the NCSBE Voter Search tool went down in 94 out of 100 counties and poll workers are having difficulty quickly identifying and registering voters.”

Sam Hayes, Executive Director of the State Board of Elections, said voters and poll workers were never impacted by the system being down.
