" Several Democratic elected officials have condemned the plan, including the mayor and the Illinois governor." Tough! https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/mass-deportations-will-start-in-chicago-trumps-border-czar-tom-homan-says-5774099?ea_src=frontpage&ea_cnt=a&ea_med=top-news-3--top-news-0-top-stories-0-title-1

60,000 ballots are being challenged! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/north-carolina-dem-chair-absolutely-worried-state-court-could-overturn-election-results/ar-AA1vCfpZ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=1c7b4e7211064a8ca6fe0dfe07122bdc&ei=9 North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton said she’s “absolutely” concerned that the state Supreme Court could overturn the results of a race for a seat on the court that has now gone to two recounts.  The results of the initial count and the first recount both showed incumbent Democratic state Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs leading Republican Jefferson Griffin, a state appeals court judge, by 734 votes. But Griffin requested a second recount partially done by hand that was completed Tuesday.  Clayton at a press conference Tuesday pointed to efforts from the GOP-led state Legislature attempting to strip power from Democratic officials as evidence that the state Supreme Court, with a current 5-2 conservative majority, could throw out the results.  In addition to the recounts, Griffin has challenged the validity of 60,000 ballots cast in the race.  “Do I have fear? Absolutely,” Clayton said. “Are we going to do everything in our power to protect these voters and to protect the democracy that we currently still have when we have two branches of government right now that are using their power unconstitutionally, in my opinion? Yes.”  Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has vetoed the proposed legislation that easily passed the Republican-dominated Legislature that would allocate $227 million from the state’s savings fund to a relief fund to respond to the effects of Hurricane Helene but would also make a wide range of changes to power in the state.  Notably, it would take certain powers away from the governor, attorney general and state superintendent, offices that Democrats won and will control in January, and give them to the state auditor, who will be a Republican, and the Legislature.  Time is of the essence because Democrats were able to pick up a seat in the state House, breaking a veto-proof supermajority that the GOP has enjoyed for the new term in January. Republicans are seeking to override Cooper’s veto before the next term starts and incoming Gov.-elect Josh Stein (D) takes office.  The state Senate passed the override along party lines, while the state House has yet to vote on it. Three Republicans in the House voted against the bill originally, putting the chances of the override passing up in the air.  “Are you seriously thinking that they would not be this manipulative and this malicious with the people and the power that they hold in this state?” Clayton said.  She said the party has filed a lawsuit in federal court to preserve the ballots of the 60,000 voters. She said the ballots are being challenged on grounds of incomplete voter registration forms, with missing information like a Social Security number or driver’s license number.  But she said these voters may have never been notified of the missing information because Republicans were not previously challenging the validity of these voters’ registrations.  “At this moment in time, we are trying to make sure that people are raising their voices, that we are filing lawsuits where we can to hold back, and we are also trusting the process of our board of elections officials to do their job and to count every single vote and to recount every single vote,” Clayton said. The state elections board  announced  after the second recount ended that it would not order a full hand recount of the ballots because Riggs gained votes in the most recent count. The recount yielded Riggs 70 additional votes and Griffin 56 additional votes, while state law requires Griffin to have gained at least 35 additional votes in the partial hand recount in 3 percent of the Election Day precincts and early voting sites in each county, according to the board.

New Hampshire bill requiring proof of citizenship, residence and DOB for same day registrants. Get rid of Same Day Registration provisional ballot. Voter has proof in order to vote.

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.) Republican - District 87 Caldwell ,   Watauga Legislative Office: 16 West Jones Street, Rm. 2301 Raleigh, NC 27601-1096 919-733-5931 Destin.Hall@ncleg.gov ​ 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 ​218 Vincent Pl Hendersonville, NC 28739 ​ NCEIT.org 209 986 3845   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rep Mike Clampitt (R) 919-715-3005  District 119.

They will be standing in the way unless you convince them otherwise. Message: Call and keep calling! The NC State Board of Elections will be dissolved into the State Board and under the perview of the state Auditor and out of the hands of the governor. There will be 3 Rs and 2 Ds to serve on state and local local boards of elections. The Auditor will appoint Board of Elections members, not the governor. This is a win, win. See SB382, pg 30 here. The veto is possible because right now , Republicans have a supermajority that they lost in the 2024 elections. The super majority window is closing! Message: The Federalist recently published NC Republicans Move To Limit Democrat Governor’s Power Over Elections After Likely Losing Supermajority . Now, The Outgoing North Carolina Governor (Cooper) Vetoes Bill That Would Give GOP More Power .  Will you override Cooper’s veto NOW and pass H382 to restore confidence in our elections? You want our support, you need to support this bill to restore confidence in our elections.

To make matters worse, Cast Vote Records, H770 , passed with bipartisan support on 9/20/23.  It’s been languishing in the Senate Rules Committee for 15 months! Cast Vote Records (CVRs) H770, is an essential artifact for post-election audits to reconcile and to restore confidence in our elections (which we still do not have). Why transfer authority of our elections from the governor to the auditor in S382 if you will not give him the tools he needs to conduct a true forensic audit? We don’t trust elections or machines because there is no transparency or oversight.   Was there truly cross over voting from a Republican President to Democrats in the NC cabinet, Senate and House? Only CVRs will expose the truth. (The Senate Rules and Operations owns the   NC Election Protest 2024 going on right now.)  The Senate Rules could have passed Cast Vote Records during the short session and before the 2024 election as we urged, but they did not .  C ast Vote Records allows us  to see why all of the down ballot candidates lost. Cast Vote Records (CVSs) are the only way to a true forensic audit.  Message: For the Auditor to perform a true forensic audit, he needs Cast Vote Records, H770. The Senate Rules needs to give the Auditor the tools to restore confidence in our elections The Senate Rules needs to get H770 out of committee and to the floor for a vote now while they still have a veto proof majority which they will lose shortly. Republicans should leave a legacy of Election Integrity and not doubt and mistrust. There is a Senate Rules and Operations Committee meeting on Monday, December 2, 2024 at 10am. NCEIT team members will attend.

The Republican NC Senate overrode the Democratic Governor Cooper's veto that would ban incoming Gov Stein's control over our elections and transfer election power to the incoming Republican Auditor, Dave Boliek.

In a landmark decision just days before Election Day, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a ruling that stops three states—Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas—from counting absentee ballots that arrive after Election Day, even if they were postmarked on or before that date. https://libertyonenews.com/shock-ruling-just-11-days-before-election-day-shuts-down-late-absentee-ballots/
