Newton 300B, Hise 300A, Daniel 627 NCEIT Supports this Bill with minor text changes because - The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) - a 501(c)3 non-profit organization- gave over $7.2 million of Mark Zuckerberg's money to the North Carolina State Board of Elections and 31 county elections boards in 2020 in an attempt to shape and influence the management of our elections. - The Alliance for Election Excellence granted contracts for 2023 with Brunswick and Forsyth counties in NC and plans to distribute $80 million to counties in the next five years. - The language below was modeled after Virginia & Georgia which is believed to be optimally effective. - The Heritage Foundation recommends: No private funding of election officials and government agencies Suggested Change in S89 language (as borrowed from other states' successful bills banning private election assistance): "Nothing in this Chapter shall grant authority to State Board of Elections, County BOE, or Commissioners to solicit, accept, use or dispose of any money, grants, property, services or anything else of value given by a private individual or nongovernmental entity for the purpose of funding voter education and outreach programs, voter registration programs or any other expense incurred in the conduct of elections.

Hi Folks,RE: Vulnerable Voters Task Force The below lists information regarding Buncombe's Nursing Home Committee and Adult Care Home Committee: meetings dates, etc. David and Laura have already inquired and filled out applications, I believe. Our goal should be to fill up the slots in each.

From Jim Womack, NCEIT This bill was PCS'd (Proposed Committee Substitute) in committee today (4/3/23) and forwarded to Rules. It is moving forward and likely will get its second and third passing votes in the next day or so, then will pass on to the Senate. Three of us on the NCEIT Team were present today to speak about H304 during public comments before the Committee, but we were denied the opportunity to speak. None of the House Members on the Elections Committee were willing to adopt our small number of recommendations to make the bill better. As it stands, the bill prohibits drop boxes (which weren't authorized anyway), cuts off receipt of all mail-in ballots at 7:30PM on Election Day, and requires a little more statistical reporting on absentee and provisional ballots by the State Board. It fails to authorize access to or inspection of ballot envelopes by poll observers (at any time during the election) and it fails to extend the window for mail-in ballot challenges until the day before canvass (meaning it will be nearly impossible to research or challenge Absentee by Mail voters before the election is certified. We failed to get these two important changes into the bill, which would have been game changers for Election Integrity. I am very disappointed. We gave it the very best effort we could muster. Several of us repeatedly spoke with and provided documentation to members of the Elections Working Group, with bill sponsor Ted Davis, with Elections Committee members and even with the Speaker and his advisory staff about these matters. I have continued to seek a meeting with Elections Committee Chair Grey Mills, who promised a meeting but has avoided me and the NCEIT team for weeks. I spoke with General Counsel Sam Hayes after the Committee Hearing and he basically told me there wasn't sufficient concern to pass the provisions we proposed. He encouraged us to keep trying to get these provisions passed in other bills, but frankly, there is little chance the House Elections Committee will revisit the same statutory provisions in yet another bill this session. Our Plan "B" on this particular bill is to modify it in the Senate. We believe we can get access to the three Senate Election Committee co-Chairs and convince them of the additional two provisions the state needs to tighten up in absentee by mail processes- where the vast majority of abuses are known to occur. I will let you addressees know if there is anything you can do to help. On the upside- looks as if ERIC is just about dead in NC. The draft Appropriations Bill successfully rescinds funding for ERIC that was authorized last year, and there is another draft statutory change (House Bill 396) that prohibits participating with ERIC, by name, regardless of funding source. Although it falls short of prohibiting the sharing of confidential citizen data with any non-governmental agency, it at least calls out the ERIC prohibition. Warm Regards/ Jim Womack NCEIT Tel. (919) 770-4783

MerlinMar 27, 2023, 10:32 PM (10 hours ago) to [from the Grant Noble newsletter] Little Donny can talk about ballot harvesting but this is the biggest issue in politics---eliminating illegal voters. “Last week, when Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger publicly supported ERIC after it was tossed out of Florida, West Virginia, and Missouri, we issued the Raffensperger Challenge. The Raffensperger Challenge is the application of Fractal analysis to any entity that currently uses ERIC. This week, we finished the first, in Washoe County, Nevada. Brad Raffensperger says anyone outing ERIC is "extremist." Today, two more extremists joined in: the secretaries of state of Iowa and Ohio...This week, we finished the first Raffensperger Challenge — in ERIC "cleaned" Washoe County, Nevada…Let's go there. This is a county with about 600,000 people on the voter rolls...We compared the address on the tax roll with the names and addresses on the voter roll: People registered in vacant lots: over 4,200 Registered in hotels: over 2,000 Registered in parking lots: over 2,500 Registered in R.V. parks: 1,600” By the way, it was underperforming in “Republican” Washoe County that cost Adam Laxalt his race. The Rinos who hated him made sure he lost by ignoring the naked fraud in that county. “...For every address in America, every single one, we can know with precision: This address cannot receive mail (vacant lot, field). This address can receive mail but not a ballot (bank, insurance company). This address can receive mail, and a ballot, but it cannot receive a ballot for Jim Smith because Jim does not have his apartment number on his voter registration record. Welcome to the Undeliverable Ballot Database. “Like it or not, the world of mail-in ballots is upon us. State after state is registering 16-year-olds, and the registration becomes active when they turn 18. Every vagrant in every homeless shelter has at least one registration. We found, in Michigan, some people with 17 registrations. The issue in 2024 is "who can receive a mail-in ballot?" The presidency of the most powerful country in history rests on a single question: who can get a mail-in ballot? Well, now we know. ERIC doesn't.” https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/03/a_gigantic_egg_all_over_brad_raffenspergers_face.html I am glad to see the (mostly) Rino Secretary of States are finally yielding to grass roots pressure on ERIC. But that needs to be followed up with every Republican election official in the country to purge their voting lists. Just cleaning up the cheat in the Republican areas could make all the difference for President and the U.S. Senate next year. If Trump had a clue, he would be thumping this issue every chance he could get. But either he is too ignorant to be President or deliberately trying to keep the system crooked for the Uniparty. I am glad to see that many conservative leaders are pushing back on his call to protest his “arrest”. Let’s see if anything happens this week. He may have walked into a trap to make him look foolish once again.
