NC votes chiefly in person at local precincts; mail ballots are sent only to the fairly small fraction of NC voters who specifically request them. Friday's batches were for voters who had already asked for them, though the final deadline for doing so isn't until next month.

One thing about the USPS's apparent acceptance of NC's first batch of ballots: this creates a new fact in the case that's probably going to be helpful to the plaintiffs (for this election). The USPS has now accepted "non compliant" ballot mailings for some voters. (And compliance is effectively impossible at this point). If the USPS later starts refusing ballots, SOME voters will have been allowed to receive mail ballots, while others will have been denied them. @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social
