Carrie is the wife of a U.S. soldier stationed overseas & is among 66,000 North Carolina voters unjustly challenged by Jefferson Griffin as he tries to overturn the NC Supreme Court election. See if Griffin wants to toss out your vote: ccnc.me/WeMatter

Griffin UOCAVA ID brief ignores how military/overseas balloting works, citing civilian statute providing for a return envelope. But GS 163-258.4 passed unanimously in 2011 authorizes electronic transmission and 88% of 32,033 2024 UOCAVA voters used no envelope method /1 #ncpol

“It would make it very difficult to ever get to finality in our elections whenever a candidate has the resources like Judge Griffin does to pursue this kind of post-election change-the-rules strategy,” @AnnWebbNC @CommonCauseNC tells @KhayaHimmelman @TPM talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-car…

"This is really scary." Today in Greensboro, we spoke with a voter who just found out she's among 60,000 North Carolinians that losing candidate Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise. ➡️Learn more & take action: CommonCauseNC.org #ncpol

NEW: Black voters were twice as likely as white voters to have their ballots challenged in election protests filed by Republican Jefferson Griffin in the NC Supreme Court race #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

If Harris is up 1 in a battleground state 1 day and Trump is up 1 the next, that that's a feature, not a bug of polling. Polls consistently within the MOE are telling us that the battleground states are too close to call Certainty feels better, but it's an uncertain election 🤷

Voting by mail in NC has started 💌 and early voting starts Oct. 17 🐣 Got questions about voting?🙋‍♀️ We have answers ✅🤗

NC has a “natural disaster” exemption to its new Voter ID law for voters who are “victim of a natural disaster” under federal disaster declaration ncleg.gov/enactedlegisla…. This exemption was designed for voters who may have lost their ID but requires a provisional ballot. #ncpol

NC Senate Bill 749 passed in Oct 2023 restricts election officials quick emergency response to natural disasters (such as approving county requests to move polling places and early voting sites no longer useable) was to forbid the executive director of the State Board of Elections from approving these actions, instead the full State Board of Elections must have an open meeting to approve those actions. While most of Senate Bill 749 was enjoined and never came into effect, the emergency powers provision was NOT enjoined. ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/…

Seeing a lot of misinterpretation based on this headline. Important to note that this is about 750K over the course of the last 20 months - not all at once. Also it’s 750K registrations, not necessarily 750K individual voters. Many were actually duplicate registrations #ncpol
