20:14Now PlayingWith under 45 days left before the election the mail-in ballots of African Americans are being targeted.
According to a report by FiveThirtyEight, in North Carolina, absentee ballots have already been sent back and the state has been updating statistics on those ballots daily.
As of September 17, Black voters' ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters.
Black voters have mailed in 13,747 ballots, with 642 rejected, or 4.7 percent. White voters have cast 60,954 mail-in ballots, with 681 -- or 1.1 percent -- rejected. In addition, 434 ballots cast by white voters and 127 ballots cast by Black voters were marked "spoiled," which can mean literally spoiled for something as simple as a voter informing the election office that the address they had requested a ballot to is wrong.
Allison Riggs, Chief Voting Rights Counsel and Interim Executive Director of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice spoke with Roland Martin during Friday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltlered about this unprecedented assault and malicious attempt to disenfranchise African Americans.
