On May 31, 2019, the Department of Homeland Security agreed to renew the North Carolina State Board of Elections’ request to complete a forensic examination of 21 laptops seized from Durham County after voting software malfunctioned during the 2016 presidential election.
Officials initially requested a forensic analysis in 2016, after a malfunction of VR Systems’ EViD electronic pollbook software on election day led to suspicions that voter data was altered or deleted.
