I See Dead North Carolina Voters
The Ballot Box Problem: Split tickets, dead voters, and why trust in elections is continuing to erode
North Carolina has become one of the clearest examples of stress on the Ballot Box.
In 2016, 2020, and 2024, Donald Trump won the presidential vote in the state. Yet each time, a Democrat won the Governor’s race. This kind of consistent split-ticket voting is increasingly rare in our polarized politics.
Even if there was zero fraud, this pattern naturally creates suspicion on both sides:
One side sees their presidential candidate winning the state and wonders how the other party keeps winning the governorship.
The other side sees the opposite.
When you add the latest audit from the North Carolina State Board of Elections — which found 34,000 dead people still listed on active voter rolls — that distrust only grows.
*...and they’re still registered to vote.*
Legend:
GOP/DEM = Republican President, Democratic Governor (split ticket)
GOP/GOP = Republican President, Republican Governor
DEM/DEM = Democratic President, Democratic Governor
DEM/GOP = Democratic President, Republican Governor (split ticket)
This isn’t primarily about proving widespread fraud in any single election. It’s about something more corrosive: large segments of the population no longer fully trust that the Ballot Box is clean, accurate, and secure.
As we discussed in The Four Boxes, the Founders gave us four boxes for a reason. The Ballot Box was meant to be the primary, peaceful way for a free people to resolve differences and hold government accountable. When trust in that box erodes — whether due to real problems or persistent perception gaps — pressure builds on the other three.
We should treat the integrity of the Ballot Box with the same seriousness we treat the others.
North Carolina’s pattern is a warning light.
