North Carolina lawmakers pass legislation to make it easier for residents affected by Hurricane Helene to vote.

More than 100 people died in western North Carolina after Helene smashed the region last month , sparking massive flooding and mudslides that destroyed much of the area's infrastructure and left some towns completely cut off.

The area hit hardest by Helene is deeply Republican ; both Trump and Harris have said they are focused on recovery efforts.

At a recent private fundraiser in South Carolina , Lara Trump , the RNC 's co-chair, encouraged donors to donate to the recovery efforts, according to one person in attendance. The better the infrastructure in the area, she said, the easier it will be for residents to get to the polls.
