There are only hours left to register to vote in North Carolina's primary election.

Eligible voters there can sign up and cast a ballot at early voting sites until 3 p.m.

Eastern if they bring their proof of residence and a photo ID.

And in Illinois, Sunday is the last day to register online.

After that, Illinois voters can sign up at election offices through the last day of voting on March 17th.

Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas are also preparing to hold statewide primary races next month.

It's too late to register for those, but eligible voters still have months left to sign up to cast ballots in this fall's general election.

If you're already registered, you may want to confirm your status before those deadlines.

Voters can sometimes fall off a list, especially if they move, change their name, or haven't voted in a while.

A black owner of rental properties in the Dallas-Fort Worth area claimed U.S.

Postal Service workers led a, quote, campaign of racial harassment by refusing to deliver mail for her and her tenants for two years.

A federal judge threw out the lawsuit citing a law that protects USPS from being sued over, quote, any claim arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter.

But an appeals panel disagreed and found the law does not protect USPS when its workers intentionally refuse to deliver mail.

Now the Supreme Court has thrown out that ruling.

In its majority opinion, joined by all the conservative justices except Justice Neil Gorsuch, the court says it thinks that Congress likely wrote the law the way it did to, quote, better keep complaints about mail delivery out of court.

It is a government agency, but the U.S.
