Troubling activity around early voting sites and inside of people's homes is an issue in the state of North Carolina, as the State Election Board has released complaints from several people of campaign volunteers entering the no-campaign zones, areas 25-50 feet from voting sites, and making calls to voters saying that they are ineligible to vote, or that they can vote by phone if they choose.
While these types of activities are common in some states near Election Day, the North Carolina State Election Board is not treating it lightly, saying that this is the worst that it has ever been, with poll workers being physically injured attempting to keep campaigners from entering the no-campaign zone. There have also been reports of surveys that have been mailed by the group Americans for Limited Government, inquiring into past voting behavior by the recipient of the letter, a practice that is making many feel uncomfortable enough to report this to the State Election Board.
