North Carolina cut voting sites at nation's largest HBCU. Students are suing

A group of North Carolina students sued Republican state officials Tuesday to restore early voting sites on three college campuses across the state, including at the United States’ largest historically Black college.

The lawsuit comes just over two weeks after the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) rejected the early voting sites in a 3-2 vote along party lines.

It was the latest in a string of recent moves by the state election board, which came under GOP control last year, to restrict voting in the Tar Heel State. And it came just weeks before the state’s 2026 primary election in March.

In the lawsuit, the students* allege that the board’s removal of voting sites at Western Carolina University (WCU), the University of North Carolina–Greensboro (UNC-G), and North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T), the largest HBCU in the country, violated the U.S. Constitution in multiple ways.
