Election denier Cleta Mitchell laid out a list of desired changes to NC law to make same day registration and mail in voting harder. Lo and behold, most of those restrictions are in the Senate’s anti-voter law. wral.com/story/how-much…

New from me tonight: Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer who aided in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has been working with NC Republicans to rewrite voting laws ahead of 2024. Bill is expected to be filed as soon as next week #ncpol #ncga wral.com/story/nc-lawma…

.@ConenMorgan gave me my first job in politics, working on the Raleigh mayoral race in 2017. He was kind, funny, and tireless in his efforts to change our politics in NC. I owe so much of my current career to his endless support and encouragement and will miss him so much.

The problem is that these supposed measures don't work out in real life the way Republicans sell them. Women will still die in states where there is a supposed exception for health because doctors are too scared to make the call until the situation is already extremely dangerous.

Sawyer told my colleague @AndySpecht that she hated hearing Democrats criticize the new abortion law for ignoring women’s needs and opinions—when she knew how much work she put into it, on intra-GOP fights like that, as a woman. #ncpol #ncga

Actually, "ban" means exactly what it says. This bill makes most abortions inaccessible after 10 weeks, contains NO exceptions for women's health (a deliberate choice), and will force women to carry to term pregnancies with severe abnormalities. It's cruel, Senator. Do better.
Senator Vickie Sawyer@SenatorSawyer

What does “ban” mean when the law says… 1st trimester w/choice 20 weeks for rape 24 weeks fatal fetal issues No restriction for life of mother “Ban” means Dems are upset we didn’t go to the extremes and “Ban” voters from the truth about our mainstream approach #ncpol #ncga

Tricia Cotham is literally the most disgusting person in the state right now. How can you capitalize off of your own access to healthcare and then turn around and deny that very necessary, live-saving healthcare to millions of people because someone else hurt your feelings once
Carolina Forward@ForwardCarolina

WOW - one of @triciacotham's former campaign field staff is spilling the tea. The vanity and entitlement just drips from her texts. Now that's #powerful #courage. #ncpol
