11/27/2024 Dear Senate Rules and Operations Committee:   Dear Senator Berger and the Senate Rules and Operations Committee:  Cast Vote Records, H770 , passed with bipartisan support on 9/20/23.  It’s been languishing in your Senate Rules Committee for 15 months.  Inexcusable.  2)  Cast Vote Records is an essential artifact for post-election audits to reconcile and to restore confidence in our elections (which we still do not have).  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? (You own the   NC Election Protest 2024 .)  You could have fixed this before the 2024 election as we urged, but you did not.  C ast Vote Records allows us to see why all of the down ballot candidates lost and protests are being filed! Were there really cross over votes or not? CVRs are the only way to a true forensic audit.  The Federalist recently published NC Republicans Move To Limit Democrat Governor’s Power Over Elections After Likely Losing Supermajority  But,  The Outgoing North Carolina Governor (Cooper) Vetoes Bill That Would Give GOP More Power . Why would you pass SB382 and not give the Auditor the tools he needs to restore confidence in our election to perform a true forensic audit?  The Auditor needs Cast Vote Records.   You can pass H770 now while you still have a veto proof majority.  You are going to lose that super majority shortly. Republicans should leave a legacy of Election Integrity and not doubt and mistrust in our elections.      Thank you.  Please address H770 on Monday, December 2, 2024 at 10am.  Live stream.

Your representatives and senators in the North Carolina General Assembly did absolutely nothing with election integrity in spite of our repeated efforts to get them to pass legislation during the 2023 short session. They are now trying to take our state elections out of the hands of the governor and place it with the Auditor. In addition, they also have a narow window to pass H770 Cast Vote Records before the new session is sworn in. The bill has been languishing in the Senate Rule committee since September of 2023. The darlings are now scrambling to fix the mess. The Federalist 11/23/24: NC GOP Moves to Limit the Democrat Governor's Power Over Elections After Likely Losing Their Supermajority. Link to NCEIT CEO Jim Womack's letter to Senate Rules " ...   Without cast vote records, the auditor lacks the tools needed to perform a post-election tabulation audit.  As it stands now, there is no audit and there will be no audit of the most recent election.  (The "Risk Limiting Audit" that NCSBE performs on itself has zero meaningfulness from a statistical and evidentiary perspective.  Everyone knows that.) The lack of legislative action by the State Senate on this bill contributes to public distrust of our elections.  Moreover, it greatly complicates the new Auditor's ability to ensure the NCSBE does its job effectively.  You have the opportunity now to fix this glaring deficiency.   There are two or more scheduled sessions of the NCGA prior to adjournment.  Please endeavor to pass this bill and then to override the likely gubernatorial veto that will ensue.  This action is very important to citizens statewide. ..."

Isn't this grand. This is why the legislature needs to fix the (Photo ID Exception Form Reasonable Impediment) . In person and absentee voters can use this to vote without an ID. Notice, Question #1 requests social security number and drivers lic'ense. But, you can skip and go on to the next questions which are basically the 'dog ate my driver'[s license.' So, how do we really know who these people are??

Early voting to begin in Fletcher, Etowah and Edneyville Henderson County’s Board of Elections on Friday voted to create additional early voting locations in Fletcher, Etowah and Edneyville after the N.C. Legislature passed a bill that forced the expansion of early voting in the county.   Read more »

Breaking! Henderon added Etowah, Fletcher and the Justice Academy to Early Voting Sites! Tell your neighbors in those areas most affected by the storm! Hallelujah! Waiting for the other counties affected to report. Thanks for your input. Seems that neither party was happy with the original plan. Also, Senator Tim Moffit sponsored the bill. Thank him. We can take all of the help we can get! https://www.hendersonvillelightning.com/news/14502-board-of-elections-will-hold-emergency-meeting-in-response-to-new-early-voting-law-2.html Legislature orders county to open three more early voting sites By Amy McCraw, Published: October 25, 2024 Forced by the N.C. Legislature to reverse course on its decision to drop three early voting sites, the Henderson County Board of Elections will hold an emergency meeting today to approve more early voting locations. The decision came after lawmakers enacted a bill that requires the expansion of early voting in Henderson County and certain other counties impacted by Hurricane Helene. The bill requires those counties to operate at least one early voting site for every 30,000 registered voters.The bill also applies to several other Western North Carolina counties including Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Haywood, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania, Watauga and Yancey. The General Assembly passed Senate Bill 132, titled "An Act to Require or Authorize the Addition of Early Voting Sites in Certain Counties for the November 2024 Election," on Thursday afternoon. Clay Eddleman, the Democratic chair of the county Board of Elections, called the emergency meeting of the board shortly after the bill passed.The bill requires that no later than Tuesday, Oct. 29, and through Saturday, Nov. 2, the counties named in the bill provide at least one early voting site for every 30,000 registered voters. The Board of Elections will meet at 9 a.m. Friday at the elections office at 75 E. Central St. to take up the process.“If the county board of elections determines its current Plan for Implementation does not provide at least one early voting site for every 30,000 registered voters, or any portion thereof, additional sites shall be added as necessary to meet the required minimum number of early voting site locations,” said the bill, sponsored by Henderson County state Sen. Tim Moffitt. The Legislature's action came after the county Board of Elections reduced early voting sites from four in previous elections to one this year, drawing criticism from both political parties and some voters.Voters who turned out for the first day of early voting in Henderson County on Oct. 17 found traffic congestion at the county’s only early voting site at the Board of Elections off Spartanburg Highway. Some voters also said they were unaware of the reduction in voting sites this year and arrived at previous early voting locations to find them empty. Both political parties slammed the decision to reduce the number of early voting sites.Bruce Macdonald, an attorney for the Henderson County Democratic Party, first raised the alarm about the reduction in voting sites on Sept. 21, a week before Hurricane Helene.“At a time when voter suppression is often subtle, but many times not so subtle, and with an upcoming election that is more consequential than perhaps any we have seen, it is hard to understand why the Henderson County Board of Elections made this decision,” Macdonald said in an email. “With a county this large and a population of 119,000, you maintain or increase — not eliminate — early-voting sites.”RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, the former chair of the N.C. GOP, issued a statement that blamed the decision on Democrats, even though the two Republicans on the county Elections Board voted in favor of the change.“ This blatant election interference by North Carolina Democrats will not be tolerated, and we are demanding they expand voting sites immediately,” he said. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the county should be adding voting sites, not eliminating them, the RNC said on Oct. 17.

From a compassionate Patriot in a storm ravaged area trying to help her Patriot neighbors to vote. One such example. The plea was to open Fletcher One Stop to alleviate the hardship on these folks. A Patriot trying to makd the best of a very bad situation. To all: My power came back, on Oct 11 at 8pm.  I am still without a land line, cell phone at home, and still no internet at home. I am able to drive out and connect by using a hotspot on my phone. Yesterday, I tried to send my video and was able to send to a small group of people.  I am trying this again and will hopefully reach a few more people. Please share this important video and message.  My goal is to reach my local community of Hoopers Creek and also reach Henderson County and District 11 in North Carolina. Thank you to EVERYONE who has done so much to help during this hurricane.  Many people have suffered unimaginable loss during this time, including people in my own Hoopers Creek community.  My passion is to encourage my community to come to Fletcher Elementary School on Tuesday, November 5th and vote all Republican on the ballot.  I will be handing out my sample ballots all day on Election Day.  I also have something special and fun for the kids who come with you to vote!  Fletcher School will be closed for kids on Election Day this time.  You will not have to wait in line with parents dropping off or picking up kids on November 5. Instead, bring your kids with you to vote! Kathy Maney, your Hoopers Creek GOP Precinct Chair.     Update video to my Hoopers Creek community after being out of power for 15 days.  Please share!  Stay tuned for my next video as I prepare my community for Election Day on November 5 at Fletcher Elementary School in Fletcher NC.  https://rumble.com/v5if6yp-then-the-hurricane-came.html Submitted by Kathy Maney –Precinct Chair, Hoopers Creek, Henderson County GOP Political News: https://rumble.com/c/PoliticalNews

Henderson In April of this year, the Henderson County Board of Elections decided to have only one early voting site for its 92,000 registered voters. A motion was made at the Henderson County Board of Elections meeting on Thursday, 10/10/2024 to increase  that number to 3 sites, but the motion failed on party lines . Can you guess who voted against! Note : Section 6.1.(a) of the Disaster Recovery Act  appropriated 5 million dollars to the State Board of Elections; Section 9.1.(c) allows the State Board of Elections to use these funds to facilitate voting in the affected counties. AND, the the definituon of by-partisan majority vote is a majority including at least one vote from a member of the board minorty whch means at least 1 Republican. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. It was a vote on party lines by the three Ds to maintan only 1 early voting site. To make this worse, the 3 to 2 vote was based on an 'absurb intrpretation' (humm) by NCSBE Attorney Paul Cox (D) of H149 as prohibing the addition of early voting sites in the 25 listed disaster counties. The NC House Council called him on it and he walked all of this back. Not Too late to Fix!! Call NC Rep Jake Johnson, ( District 113) Chair of NC House Oversight and Reform 919 715 4466 Senator Tim Moffitt (District 48) 919 733 5745 Senator Warren Daniel (District 49) 919 715 7823 NC Rep Jennifr Balkcom (District 117) 919 733 5956 The two other sites they rejected were in areas still struggling with power and internet issues and even getting gas. The BOE One Stop Early Voting is not a driving convenience for these disenfranchised folks. So how many are affected with the elimination of the two additional sites ... Etowah Library site would have served 13,000. Bible Baptist Church on Upward Rd would have served 15,500. Isn't this just grand! Pray nothing happens on election day like a family emergency, the car breaks down, the weather, can't get gas, roads out. Who knows. If you can't get to the BOE One Stop for Early Voting, you may be out of luck. Of course, we want you to vote early to assure your vote gets counter correctly and no one else votes in your place. Tell these representatives and senators who represent you to get to the BOE today before the 5PM BOE meeting to demand the opening of early voting sites - a correction - and not the early votng disenfranchise of voters. Call NC Rep Jake Johnson, ( District 113) Chair of NC House Oversight and Reform 919 715 4466 Senator Tim Moffitt (District 48) 919 733 5745 (He needsto advocate for their constituents!) Senator Warren Daniel (District 49) 919 715 7823 Senate Rules and Election Committee NC Rep Jennifr Balkcom (District 117) 919 733 5956 (She needs to advocate for her constituents!) If you can make it, come to the Tuesday, October 15th BOE meeting at 5PM when this Board will decide which precincts will remain open on Election Day, and which precincts will have to be combined due to the flooding and damage. Also each Tuesday at 5PM during early voting, BOE members will meet to open and approve absentee ballots. Please try to make this. 75 East Central Street, Hendersonville, NC Should you wish to contact the Henderson Co Board of Elections members about the decision to not increase the number of Early Voting sites to three, their email addresses are as follows: Clay Eddleman (D)- ceddleman@hendersoncountync.gov Debbie Dante (R) - ddante@hendersoncountync.gov Sharon Pearson (D) - spearson@hendersoncountync.gov Linda Rebuck - lrebuck@hendersoncountync.gov Cindy Ellis (D) - board.cellis@hendersoncountync.gov You will probably be told that all us well and it's all working out. Ask them if they checked with the folks in the affected areas about roads and other issues. FYI: So how could some of this been avoided months ago? The North Carolina General Assembly (NCGA) that is constitutionally bound to run our elections) has appealed directly to the NC Supreme Court for review of S749 (passed in 2023), to reverse a District Court's ruling it is an unconstitutional infringement on separation of powers. That means that the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) would not be run out of the Governor's office (as it is now) but by the Secretary of State. (Right now: 3 wolves and 2 sheep deciding what to have for lunch on all 100 Boards of Elections) The NCSBE would become the State Board and they would be under the scrutiny of a non-partisan board screening all of their 'numbered memos' and out of control re-writing of state statutes. The State Board would consist of 4 Rs and 4 Ds. (Not 3Ds and 2 Rs) They must come to consenses and any pronouncements need to aligh with our NC State Election Law statutes. What a concept! The expectation was that the NC Supreme Court (a conservative court) would rule in favor of the NCGA realigning the county & state boards for parity sometime this summer. It's Fall. That never happened, so here we are. Other Henderson Issues at One Stop The parking situation for Poll Observers who were never considered in the April One-Stop site plan for parking at O'Reilly's has finally been resolved - we hope. Hopefully, the agreement with Animal Care Clinic has been turned into a contract so the POs and the Greeters have parking space at the Animal Care Clinic. Perhaps the 1964 Civil Rights Act that Federally Protects Activities of Poll Watchers and other election officials was persuasive in getting a final resolution. Porta Potties will be avalable at the BOE One Stop. Early Voting begins Thursday, October 17th at 8AM to 7:30PM and runs through Saturday, Novmber 2nd from 9AM to 3PM. See complete list here. Election Day is Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. Please volunteer to be a Poll Observer. We are the guardians of 'Easy to Vote and Hard To Cheat.' Contact Jane.Bilello@gmail.com 209 9863845.
