- Organize Your Local NCEIT Task Forces
NCEIT County Coordinators and Others: Next Steps: Organize Your NCEIT Local Task Forces. Thank you once again for stepping up to be your County Coordinator. With the job of training poll observers and manning the precincts behind us, it’s time to tackle the other systems of election integrity. Remember, the Left has infiltrated and corrupted each of the systems and we have been absent. I am encouraging you to recruit one or two folks to organize the following task forces: Now that the elections are over … 1) Board of Elections: Contact your local BOE Director. Get on the email list of meeting notifications. Attend. Take notes. · Electronic request for the 11/8/22 Election Day Zero Tapes for all precincts in your county. See here for model letter to submit to your local BOE. https://www.ashevilleteaparty.org/post/public-records-request-for-the-zero-tape-on-election-day-11-8-2022 · Electronic request the 11/8/22 Election Day Poll Tapes for all precincts for your county: See here for model letter to submit to you local BOE. https://www.ashevilleteaparty.org/post/public-records-request-for-poll-tapes 2) List Maintenance: A. Provisional ballots/Overseas civilian ballots: There are problems to be addressed in every county. You need to request a list of provisional voters’ names, addresses and counties. How many were approved and how many disapproved? This is the problem: If the provisional vote is approved but their postcard is returned ‘Undeliverable, ‘ the voter is removed but their vote is counted in the election thereby disenfranchising legal voters. You need to find them. Challenge at a BOE meeting. Info on provisional is below. Provisional Votes Approved/ Removed for not voting in 2 Federal elections. No record of registration elsewhere. Sent postcard after election day and if not returned, proof of where the voter lives and deemed registered. If postcard returned "Undeliverable" voter Removed (but their vote counted in the election). The issue here is the Provisional vote was approved upon the voter's sworn statement that they "maintained continuous residence in the county" NCGS § 163A-877(d)(3) [NCGS § 163-82.14(d)(3). (SeeNCSBE NM 2018-05 1.3 May 17, 2018) If the postcard is returned Undeliverable to the county BOE, their vote has already been counted, disenfranchising legal voters. No action against them is initiated for vote fraud. Your NCEIT Board will lobby for these changes. This is an issue that needs to be fixed with photo ID and a current local county address. B. Overseas Civilian Ballots: Another problem area. Currently there is no requirement to verify that overseas civilians actually live in the county in which they are voting prior to moving overseas. Some submit summer camps as a past address. Get a list of your overseas absentee ballots: names and addresses. Gather this information and submit that info to NCEIT so we can take this to the legislature to fix. 3. Post Office: Lobbying your U.S. Congressman. The post office will not allow citizens like you and I to tour the post office to find out how they handle absentee ballots. (You’ve seen 2000 Mules). How are they secured? (We have had some NCEIT members contact their Congressman: Patrick McHenry and Dan Bishop) Now, all of us need to contact our congressman and demand that they contact our local post offices and demand that civilians have access to the post office for tours and questions regarding handling of absentee ballots. (Look up your U.S. Congressman here https://www.ashevilleteaparty.org/post/find-your-u-s-congressional-officials ) Tell them to contact your local postmaster and demand we have access to the post office. 4. Last but not least: Your NCEIT team is going to Raleigh in January/February to lobby our NC Legislators for state statute and admin code changes to fix what we found across the state. Your SEIRS reports are affidavits. Please don’t forget that the U.S. Supreme Court gave Republican legislative leaders in North Carolina a win back in June in a fight over the state’s latest photo identification voting law. In an 8-1 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ended the three-year-plus dispute over the voter ID law and held that legislative leaders in North Carolina can intervene in the federal case to defend the law. The GOP leadership has no more excuses. https://www.ashevilleteaparty.org/post/n-c-court-votes-in-favor-of-taking-on-voter-id-case-in-october Thank you.

- Public Records Request for Poll Tapes from Election Night, 11/8/2022
Copy/Paste the following inserting your local information. (These are the Election Night poll tapes.) FROM: Name & Address TO: _______County Board of Elections ATTN: __________, Director ___________________________ ___________________, 2022 SUBJECT: Request for ______County Tabulator Poll Tapes, November 8, 2022 General Election 1. I am requesting a digital copy of all poll tape information generated by tabulation machines operated by the county board of elections upon closure of the November 8, 2022 election. These records are needed as soon as possible, but no later than November 17, 2022 so that our election integrity team can complete its review and analysis of machine counts prior to post-election canvass (set for Nov 18, 2022). 2. We do not anticipate the need for election officials to redact any information contained on the poll tapes. At minimum these tapes should include the machine serial number, firmware/software version, and the final count of votes for each candidate and election on the ballot for that tabulator. We believe the envelopes are public records, releaseable under the provisions of NCGS § 132-1. Public Records. 3. "Public records" shall mean all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, photographs, films, sound recordings, magnetic or other tapes, electronic data-processing records, artifacts, or other documentary material, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance in connection with the transaction of public business by any agency of North Carolina government or its subdivisions. 4. I am requesting these poll tapes be provided to me at no charge in an electronic format that is commonly machine readable and in a common media form such as a thumb drive or DVD disc. If the county can instead print and provide a hard copy of these poll tapes- at no charge to this requestor- then the hard (image) copies of these tapes is also acceptable.

- Public Records Request for the Zero Tape on Election Day, 11/8/2022
Copy/Paste below and insert your local information. FROM: Name & Address TO: _______County Board of Elections ATTN: __________, Director ___________________________ ___________________, 2022 SUBJECT: Request for ______County Zero Tapes, November 8, 2022 General Election 1. I am requesting a digital copy of the entire zero tape, from each tabulating device used in the November 8, 2022 General Election. 2. Each Zero Tape should be complete and reflect the tabulator serial number, firmware version, and zero counts for each race on the ballot, without redactions. 3. It is my understanding tabulators are set to print these electronic files on demand and that they are public records, releaseable under the provisions of NCGS § 132-1. Public Records. 4. "Public records" shall mean all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, photographs, films, sound recordings, magnetic or other tapes, electronic data-processing records, artifacts, or other documentary material, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance in connection with the transaction of public business by any agency of North Carolina government or its subdivisions. 5. I am requesting these Zero Tapes be provided to me at no charge in an electronic format that is commonly machine readable and in a common media form such as a thumb drive or DVD disc.

- Religious Liberty Under Attack. Call Your U.S. Reps Now!
Now that elections are over, Congress has entered into a lame duck session where they will try to pass as much legislation as possible before the new Congress takes office in January. One of these pieces of legislation takes direct aim at religious liberty. The “Respect for Marriage Act” would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which defined marriage as being between one man and one woman. After the Supreme Court’s Obergefell and Windsor decisions however, DOMA has already effectively been repealed. As a result, the Respect for Marriage act would have no real effect on the state of marriage in America. The real consequence of this bill would be the effect it has on people of faith and religious institutions. This bill deliberately seeks to attack religious individuals and institutions who believe marriage is between one man and one woman. It would allow the IRS, which is hiring 87,000 more agents, to revoke the tax-exempt status of churches who hold fast to traditional marriage. Religiously affiliated adoption centers and foster care providers would be forced to close down for the same beliefs. And small business owners who choose to only support traditional marriage would be able to be sued under this law. Not only that, but Congress shouldn’t be passing ANY controversial bills in a lame duck session to begin with. The Respect for Marriage Act was passed by a House of Representatives whose leadership was just rejected by the American people. Only the new Congress should be allowed to legislate on such matters. Grassroots activists like you need to TAKE ACTION. Call your representative NOW and tell them to stand up for religious liberty. Call your representative NOW! Thank you for your activism.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/11/15/trump-officially-announces-2024-run-for-president-n2615942?utm_source=breakingemail n a press conference before an audience of supporters at his Mar-a-Lago club on Tuesday evening, former President Donald Trump announced his intention to run for president in 2024, kicking off the next campaign cycle just one week after the 2022 midterms. Surrounded by American flags and flanked by giant signs emblazoned with his 2016 slogan "Make America Great Again" that's become synonymous with the political movement he sparked, Trump declared "America's comeback starts right now." "In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for President of the United States," Trump said. "We are a nation in decline, we are a failing nation," Trump said of the trajectory of the country since Biden took office. Watch the video.

- Our NC Senators Shut Down ERIC! Thank Them!
From: "Sen. Jim Burgin" Date: September 20, 2022 at 06:36:25 EDT To: Jim Womack Subject: Fwd: ERIC/State Budget From: Brent Woodcox Sent: Monday, September 19, 2022 2:39 PM To: Bell, Karen B Cc: Sen. Phil Berger ; Sen. Ralph Hise ; Sen. Warren Daniel ; Sen. Paul Newton ; Sen. Bill Rabon ; Sen. Kathy Harrington ; Sen. Vickie Sawyer ; Sen. Chuck Edwards ; Sen. Jim Burgin ; Sen. Joyce Krawiec ; Sen. Jim Perry ; Sen. Michael Lee ; Sen. Carl Ford ; Sen. Amy Galey ; Sen. Ted Alexander ; Sen. Deanna Ballard ; Sen. Steve Jarvis ; Sen. David Craven ; Sen. Kevin Corbin Subject: RE: ERIC/State Budget Karen Brinson Bell Dobbs Building Third Floor 430 N Salisbury St 6400 Mail Service Center Raleigh NC 27603-1362 September 19, 2022 Dear Ms. Brinson Bell, We are writing today to clarify the intent of the budget provisions related to North Carolina’s participation in the Electronic Registration Information Council, Inc. (ERIC). The bill specifically provides funds for the State's membership in ERIC. In so doing, it directs the NC State Board of Elections (NCBSE) to use HAVA funds in order to conduct “a one-time analysis of the State's voter registration data by the Electronic Registration Information Center, Inc. (ERIC), and a subsequent mailing to affected individuals by the State Board of Elections to improve the accuracy of voter registration records.” Additionally, the bill directs NCSBE as follows: If the State's continued membership in the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) requires the State Board of Elections or a local board of elections to change any of the policies or procedures related to elections in this State, the change in policy or procedure shall not occur unless approved by an act of the General Assembly. Our understanding is that the mailings involved in this process will not go out until sometime in the Spring of 2023 and that this program will have no effect on how the the 2022 general election is conducted. We expect that when this administrative task is undertaken by NCSBE that it will be done in an orderly fashion and conducted in such a way that adheres to all existing state law regarding the security of confidential voter information. It is our further understanding that ERIC does not supply the state with citizenship status in its data exchange. Our expectation is that NCSBE will use data that is available to the state regarding the citizenship status of individuals residing in North Carolina before conducting the first mailing to ensure that any information regarding voter registration opportunities do not create any confusion about a person’s eligibility to vote if that person is not a citizen. We look forward to continuing to work in consultation with NCSBE to ensure that our voter rolls are accurate and that confidential voter information remains secure. Sincerely, Sen. Phil Berger Sen. Ralph Hise Sen. Warren Daniel Sen. Paul Newton Sen. Bill Rabon Sen. Kathy Harrington Sen. Vickie Sawyer Sen. Chuck Edwards Sen. Jim Burgin Sen. Joyce Krawiec Sen. Jim Perry Sen. Michael Lee Sen. Carl Ford Sen. Amy Galey Sen. Ted Alexander Sen. Deanna Ballard Sen. Steve Jarvis Sen. David Craven Sen. Kevin Corbin
- #PollTapeProject: Photo the Machine Tape AM & PM on Election Day
#ValidateTheVote before the polls open and after they close. Find out about the #PollTapeProject here https://www.transparentelectionsnc.org/poll-tape-project-nc As a citizen, you have a right under the law, to witness the boot up of the scanner/tabulator and to view and photograph the zero tapes before the polls open on election day on 11/08/2022, before voters enter and after the polls close on election night after the last voter has left the voting enclosure to observe and photograph the tabulation of votes and printing of the results tape(s). Download this affidavit from transparentelectionsnc.org/PollTape Project. Fill out paragraph 1 and then sign and date the bottom of page 2. (Note: all of the NC laws and Admin Code giving you this right is at the bottom of page 2) Affidavit: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f4a8d9637f41245999e6b5f/t/627eeba019ced63b9ce165d8/1652485024523/Affidavit_PollTapeProject.pdf It might be a good idea to present this ahead of time to your BOE Director. The Chief Judge at your precinct may delay you in the AM trying to get clearance from the BOE. (This happened to me primary election night. It took the Judge 3 1/2 hours to get permission from the BOE.) Take the Affidavit with you in the AM and PM to present to the Chief Judge. Remember to fill out a report in SEIRS - yeah or nay. Consider filing a formal complaint against the chief judge if your right to observe or take photos/videos was denied Consider filing a formal complaint against the county BOE if your right to observe or take photos/videos was denied FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION ON POLL TAPES, please go to www.transparentelections.org/Take Action/Poll Tape Project
