**Chapel Hill, NC** – The North Carolina Republican Party and the Republican National Committee have filed a lawsuit against the State Board of Elections, challenging the board’s decision to allow students at UNC-Chapel Hill to use digital IDs for voting.
The lawsuit stems from the Board’s approval on August 20th of the university’s “One Card” system. This system, accessible only through iPhones and Apple Watches, allows students to use their digital IDs for various campus activities, including building entry, purchases, parking, and sporting events.
While students who do not have Apple products or choose not to utilize the digital format still have the option of using physical IDs, the lawsuit argues that the digital system raises concerns about voter security and potential fraud.
The lawsuit comes amidst a broader debate on voter ID laws and the increasing use of digital technologies in elections. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the future of digital voting practices across North Carolina and potentially other states.
