RALEIGH, N.C. -- Voter registration records for more than 20,000 people in North Carolina have been successfully amended thus far in an effort by election officials to add missing identification numbers.

In mid-July, the State Board of Elections began formally an effort that seeks to resolve a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump's Justice Department that focused on voter registration records that lacked either a voter's driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Federal and state laws have directed that election officials must request this ID information since 2004 of new registrants, but for about a decade the state's registration form failed to make clear that voters were supposed to provide it if they had it.
