The AP has the report, following on the DOJ’s case I’ve been blogging. 

This report has a piece of info that’s new to me, though:

About half of the 200,000 affected voters would be limited to casting provisional ballots until they provide the information to the state, [NC Board of Elections Executive Director] Hayes said.

It’s my understanding that all of the voters here were validly registered under state law, which means that the voters were necessarily validly registered under federal law.  (And that’s independent of whether the state itself had sufficiently complied with federal law.) 

Unless the 100,000 people in question are new voters under HAVA who haven’t yet shown any ID, I’d be very interested to know the legal basis for forcing them to vote provisionally.
