However, I urge you to please consider additional significant changes to the H958 PCS and to pass the bill with the NCEIT suggested changes and to fix the deficiencies before the 2026 general election to restore voter confidence and election integrity. There should be no opportunity for foreign influence in our elections.  The address of overseas voters must be verified through available state databases. Refinement of the voter registration application, registration process, qualifications of voters and use of HAVA documents for address verification is suggested to improve the quality of the voter registration list. I agree with NCEIT's Suggestions which are provided in the next two links. See links here  NCEIT's H958 PCS Bill Summary  and here   NCEIT's Suggestions to Fix the Deficiencies to H958 PCS . Also see these links for data on Questionable Entires on the Voter Registration List, as well as, Duplicate Registrations.   Sincerely, ______________________________ Your Name ______________________________ Your Address   Directions for Calls: See link for phone numbers to key Republican House members here. Refer the legislator to the email you just sent them (above). Use the Talking Points  below for reference. Pick one or more. Consider using your own words.

NCEIT TALKING POINTS for Revisions & Additions to H958 - PCS   Contributions by foreign nationals - There should be no exceptions to the definition of foreign nationals. - Foreign nationals should not be allowed to contribute money to N. C. elections. - National Chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli issued the following statement:  "We applaud House Republicans for the improvements already made to H958, however its section on foreign funding still falls short. Foreign billionaires and corporations should never be given the ability—under any circumstance—to buy North Carolina’s elections and undermine voters so they can affect changes to the state’s constitution. But the reality is that the bill in its current form, without additional amendments, will allow them to continue doing so with ease.”   Click HERE  for NCEIT’s Suggestions for Changes to fix the deficiencies in H958 PCS.   Overseas voter's registration address   (UOCAVA – Uniformed & Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) -  Thank you for proposing changes to UOCAVA voting, but there should be documentation of the voter’s address such as a passport or driver’s license.  In cases where the address is not verifiable, the county BOE address should be used to register the voter. -  Address verification is required for in person and mail in voting.   UOCAVA voting should be treated the same.   - Over 60% of UOCAVA voters were civilian rather than military in 2024.  That trend has been increasing for years.  (In 2024 36% were uniformed military voters and 64% oversees civilian voters according to the Election Assistance Commission.)   Click HERE  for NCEIT’s Suggestions for Changes to fix the deficiencies in H958 PCS.    Voter Registration, Voter Registration Application Verification of Voters -  The voter registration application should have required not requested information, so the voter can be verified.  Full legal name and social security number helps avoid duplicate registrations especially with the many hyphenated names.  Driver’s licenses should be current and valid, -  There are millions of legal residents who are not citizens living in the US.  Many of them have been improperly registered to vote.   Proof of citizenship for new registrations is an important item to require on the application to increase accuracy and trust in the system. -  An application should not be approved until identity and address verification are complete. Current law outlines the address verification process, but the important step of identity verification is missing.   Click HERE  for NCEIT’s Suggestions for Changes to fix the deficiencies in H958 PCS.   Qualifications to Vot e -  The law should emphasize that a person who is not a citizen of the US, will not be allowed to vote which is consistent with a recent amendment to the NC Constitution. - The President’s Executive Order 14248 requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, so that proof should be a qualification.  -  With the number of illegal immigrants in the country we need assure that “only citizens vote”.   Click HERE  for NCEIT’s Suggestions for Changes to fix the deficiencies in H958 PCS.   Use of HAVA (Help America Vote Act) documents - HAVA documents should be used to verify address, not to verify identity. -  HAVA documents are easily forged. -  Current law requires that efforts be made to obtain information to verify the identity during the registration process, not when they show up to vote. -  If voter’s lose confidence in the election system, they may be less inclined to vote, believing their vote will be cancelled by ineligible to voters.  Click HERE  for NCEIT’s Suggestions for Changes to fix the deficiencies in H958 PCS.   When Driver's License and Social Security Numbers Can Not Be Verified -  It is not a best practice to use HAVA documents to verify identity.  The BOE should be in contact with the applicant to obtain information to see if there are errors in names and birthdates, for example.  -  Verifying identity is a key to a trustworthy voter registration database.  It is a priority in our country.   Click HERE  for NCEIT’s Suggestions for Changes to fix the deficiencies in H958 PCS.

FYI: The State Party Chair (Jason Simmons), National Committeeman (Ed Broyill) and National Committeewoman (Kyshia Brassington) all signed off on the Republican National Committee (RNC) paperwork invoking RC Rule 11 which authorizes the RNC to throw its financial and operational support to Michael Whatley over all Republican rivals in preparation for the March 2026 primary election. Their actions are in direct violation of Article IX F of the NCGOP State Plan of Organization which prohibits the use of one's position in the party to favor any candidate facing a party primary. Moreover, these NCGOP staff lied or misled party members by claiming that the Rule 11 authorization was solely for purposes of creating a Joint Fundraising Agreement with the RNC that would aid the primary winner. The three leaders knew that claim not to be valid; nor is there any language in the RNC rules documents that might be construed as requiring Rule 11 for any other purpose other than for state party granting permission for the RNC to interfere in a state primary. According to Republican National Committee (“RNC”) Rule 11, “[t]he Republican National Committee shall not, without the prior written and filed approval of all members of the Republican National Committee from the state involved, contribute money or in-kind aid to any candidate for any public or party office of that state, except the nominee of the Republican Party or a candidate who is unopposed in the Republican primary after the filing deadline for that office.”1 The RNC requires written consent from all RNC State Members to fund any specific election. Although typically uninvolved until after primary elections, the RNC is collaborating with the North Carolina Republican Party through a Joint Fundraising Agreement to secure contributions for the Republican nominee for the 2026 U.S. Senate race, not any particular candidate. None of the funds from the Joint Fundraising Agreement shall be used in the primary election for any candidate. https://dailyhaymaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/NCGOP-RNC-Rule-11-Legal-Interpretation-1.pdf Daily Haymaker Steve Bannon – one of the architects of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement as well as one of the brains behind  Donald Trump’s 2016 victory — is making it crystal clear to his fans that former RNC and NCGOP chairman Michael Whatley ain’t one of us.   This makes Bannon the second Trump-connected figure to come out against Whatley (the alleged Trump choice for North Carolina’s US Senate seat ).  Trump’s first pick for national security advisor, General Mike Flynn , has publicly endorsed Whatley’s opponent in the March primary. Here’s Bannon on Friday’s edition of War Room : “[…] But Whatley is not MAGA. One of the reasons he’s running so poorly in North Carolina. If you talk to the MAGA folks down there, they’re just not enthusiastic about it.” […] Liars ranging from John Locke to the Raleigh & Charlotte legacy drive-bys have bent over backwards trying to present to their dwindling readership and viewership that (1) there is no GOP primary for US Senate and (2) Michael Whatley is invincible and inevitable. Too bad the Harper Poll had to come out and blow that scam to smithereens.  The poll did two things: (1) confirmed that there is a choice for Republicans in the form of one Don Brown , and (2) Whatley AND Brown perform roughly the same in a head-to-head match with Cooper. What makes (2) so extraordinary is that Whatley has been buried in million$ worth of funding from the state and national GOP and has benefited from oodles of logistical help from both of those entities.   Yet, he’s doing about as well as his opponent, Brown, who has been running on a shoe-string operation with NO party help.  One would think this development creates a gaping hole for Brown to run through straight for the end-zone.  The BIG QUESTION: Will Brown recognize this opportunity and take advantage of it?
