Rep Hall work with these NC House reps ​to get hurricane funding so they will vote to override Cooper's veto of S382

Contact Rep Destin Hall to urge him to work with the three representatives( Mike Clampitt, Karl Gillespie, and Mark Pless) who did not vote to transfer our election authority from the Governor to the Auditor. The Senate overrode Cooper's veto. The House needs to do the same. We're running out of time. There will most likely will be a vote before the end of the week. (Please write your own letter and use the talking points for a phone call.)

Dear Representative Hall:


There is great concern for the House to override Cooper’s veto of S382 that transfers our elections administratively to the Department of the State Auditor that takes our elections out of the hands of the Governor and the NC State Board of Elections.  The Senate overrode Cooper's veto and now it’s up to the NC House.  There is great concern that Representatives Clampitt, Gillespie, and Pless did not vote for S382.  Their votes are crucial to the override.  In January, the House will be one vote short of a supermajority for the override.​ There is no guarantee of cross over votes.  Therefore, it is imperative that S382 is passed now​ before the New Year.  


It is my understanding that the three representatives are concerned that Hurricane Helene relief funds in S382 are inadequate for their constituents. Can you please work with these representatives ​to get the hurricane relief funding ​that they ​and their constituents are looking for so they will vote for S382? ​The window is rapidly closing.  


Thank you and so do appreciate your help.  It is an understatement that a top priority is election integrity.   ​S382 would restore faith in accountability and transparency in our elections. 


Sincerely,

Jane Bilello
