Hmm: 11% of mail ballots that have been returned in North Carolina's Guilford County (Greensboro) have been rejected, per @ElectProject's electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-202…
That's more than 6 times the statewide rejection rate. A third of all ballots rejected statewide are in Guilford.

20% of mail ballots returned by black voters in Guilford County have been rejected so far, compared to 7% of those returned by white voters. 
These voters should be contacted by county, & get to fix, tho that demands further action & mobilization. Anyone in state can track ballot here: northcarolina.ballottrax.net/voter/
& a reminder there’s a statewide battle under way on how easy it ought to be to fix:

More info/qualification: County says 60% of these ballots not "actually rejected," but "in limbo" on "whether" to approve. hpenews.com/news/27194/abs… (via @redistrict)
But: rate of even just "rejected" ones > than statewide. & 99 other counties outright accepting far more ballots.

Finally: Guilford's situation exceptional (Mecklenburg has accepted 99% of returns; 98% statewide; 89% in Guilford as of now), but racial disparity is a problem statewide. See this mid-Sept piece: fivethirtyeight.com/features/north…
