Mail-voting battle clouds start of US midterm elections

North Carolina has begun mailing out ballots for the 2026 midterm elections, marking the official start of the voting season. The process is overshadowed by legal battles over President Trump's executive order to restrict mail-in voting, which a federal judge has temporarily blocked. Whistleblower claims about a new postal verification system add further uncertainty for voters and officials.
