The Complaint lists several egregious actions by Director Sims and the board that were taken against Lynn Bernstein, founder of Transparent Elections NC, but focuses on a May 14th trespass notice issued to her, without cause, by order of Director Sims. This trespass notice has the effect of banning Ms. Bernstein for life from observing elections, attending Board of Elections meetings, serving as a poll worker, or voting in person at any early voting site or at her precinct because she will be arrested if she steps foot on property under the control of the Wake County Board of Elections. The trespass notice was issued to Ms. Bernstein even though she never entered the open gate to the Board of Elections facility on May 14th, which is confirmed by surveillance video. She was looking for a legal place where she could hold a small, peaceful protest on Election Night to bring attention to the fact that Director Sims and the board do not allow public observation at the elections facility after the polls close at 7:30 pm. Election night is when the results poll tapes for early voting and absentee-by-mail should be available for public viewing. This is also the time when critical election materials are brought back to the board warehouse and the electronic vote count is sent to the state. Ms. Bernstein brings exceptional qualifications to her role as an election observer and monitor. She is a trained International Elections Observer; a member of the Election Verification Network; a member of the National Voting Rights Task Force; a member of the Carter Center Advisory Council for Fair, Safe and Secure Elections in North Carolina; a Board Member of AUDIT USA Elections; and an active member of the Wake County Democratic Party, serving as a Board Member for the Democratic Women of Wake County and as a Member of the Executive Committee for the NC Democratic Party Disability Issues Caucus. In addition, Ms. Bernstein’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and her work experience in the aerospace industry allow her to use her technical experience to advocate for increased security, accuracy of election equipment and comprehensive uniform processes. “I have never created a disturbance. I always act professionally and respectfully and have always followed the law. I’m being singled out and punished for exercising my constitutional right to speak at board of election meetings and observe and improve elections procedures,” Ms. Bernstein said. “Being trespassed and banned from election properties is a clear retaliation against me.” Ms. Bernstein’s nonpartisan efforts have made a difference in North Carolina. To list just a few examples, she helped Guilford County save $5.8 million by successfully advocating for its purchase of a hand-marked paper ballot voting system instead of more expensive and less secure ballot-marking devices for all voters. (Guilford County used the millions saved on raises for its school bus drivers and air conditioning in some of its schools.) The North Carolina State Board of Elections adopted her suggestion for improving the transparency of the selection process for randomly determining which precincts will be audited. And due to her advocacy, the State Board of Elections directed Wake County to correct its improper procedures for processing absentee-by-mail ballots, which drew the ire of Director Sims and the Wake County Board of Elections. Bernstein’s advocacy also prompted a statewide directive from the State Board of Elections to ensure all counties were following the correct procedures for handling absentee-by-mail ballots. Ms. Bernstein is a longtime advocate for evidence-based elections that are worthy of the public’s trust. Director Sims and some members of the Wake County Board of Elections have expressed annoyance with Ms. Bernstein’s attention to proper election procedures and best practices, and Director Sims has physically and verbally intimidated Ms. Bernstein on more than one occasion, including a witnessed incident that is described in the Complaint. The Complaint asks the court to revoke the trespass against Ms. Bernstein so that she may continue to pursue the civic duties that are so important to her and that benefit North Carolina elections and voters. The Complaint also seeks compensatory damages for the violation of Ms. Bernstein’s constitutional rights. “I do this work because I believe that for our democracy to survive, voters must have confidence in election results, which can only be achieved with elections that are transparent, trackable, robustly audited, and publicly verified,” Bernstein said. “Everything I do is aimed at greater transparency, improved security, and increased voter confidence.” # # # # Link to Complaint: https://bit.ly/3B2uYRm (Please note: The bold italics are the website owners.

Letter to Editor, The Hendersonville Lightning, 12/26/2021 Open Letter To The Flat Rock City Council and Henderson County Commissioners: Don’t Fund The Flat Rock Playhouse Fascism The Flat Rock Playhouse is requiring vaccine passports accompanied by a photo ID. The playhouse is North Carolina’s State Theater that receives our state tax dollars. In addition, the Henderson County Commissioners and the Flat Rock City Council are giving the Playhouse our county and town hard earned tax money. This action by Flat Rock Playhouse is the hallmark of communist dictatorships, not a 245-year-old constitutional republic like the United States of America. Funding the playhouse makes you complicit. In this country, medical privacy is the right of every American citizen. Whether we choose to take a COVID-19 vaccine or not is no one’s business - not the Federal government or the Flat Rock Playhouse. The nameless, faceless, unelected bureaucrats at OSHA were never given authority to mandate vaccine passports (with a photo ID no less) by Congress because it’s unconstitutional. Congress did not give OSHA the authority to mandate vaccine passports let alone the Flat Rock Playhouse. The Flat Rock Playhouse thinks they can discriminate and divide us, violate our individual inalienable rights, our bodily integrity, our medical privacy, and the rule of law. By funding the Playhouse, you are complicit in these egregious violations. The citizens of Flat Rock and Henderson County never gave you the right to tax us to violate our rights or to bar us from our theater. Since you have the authority to give away our tax dollars, you have the authority to them take away. Like my fellow tax payers, I pay taxes to the state of North Carolina, Henderson County, and Flat Rock. The citizens of North Carolina urge you to do the right thing in your 2022 budget. Do not fund their fascism. Jane Bilello

Letter to NCGA Withold Funds To Flat Rock Playhouse December 26, 2021 Dear North Carolina Senators and House Representatives: Are you aware that The Flat Rock Playhouse, the North Carolina State Theater, is requiring vaccine passports accompanied by a photo ID? You allocate our tax dollars to fund the theater. This action by the Flat Rock Playhouse is the hallmark of communist dictatorships, not a 245-year-old constitutional republic like the United States of America. This is not a Right-Left/Republican-Democrat issue. This is a violation of our civil rights guaranteed to us in The Bill of Rights. In this country, medical privacy is the right of every American citizen. Whether we choose to take a COVID-19 vaccine or not is no one’s business - not the Federal government or the Flat Rock Playhouse. The nameless, faceless, unelected bureaucrats at OSHA were never given authority to mandate vaccine passports (with a photo ID no less) by Congress because it’s unconstitutional. Congress did not give OSHA the authority to mandate vaccine passports let alone the Flat Rock Playhouse. The Flat Rock Playhouse thinks they can discriminate and divide us, violate our individual inalienable rights, our bodily integrity, our medical privacy, and the rule of law. If you choose to continue funding the Playhouse, you will be complicit in these violations. The citizens of North Carolina never gave you the right to tax us to violate our rights or to bar us from our theater. Since you have the authority to allocate our tax dollars, you have the authority to withhold them. I pay taxes to the state of North Carolina, Henderson County, and Flat Rock. If the Flat Rock Playhouse does not remove their illegal vaccine mandate and photo ID, the citizens of North Carolina urge you to do the right thing in your 2022 budget. Do not fund their fascism.

https://dailyhaymaker.com/who-the-hell-is-eric-and-why-is-he-in-my-state-budget/ Republican leaders (Like NC Speaker of the House Tim Moore (R) and President Pro Tempore of the NC Senate, Phil Berger) in the North Carolina General Assembly have stated repeatedly, in the face of complaints about ERIC, that the group ERIC) will not be removed from the state budget. There were only 3 Republican excused absences in the Senate. All other Republicans voted for this Leftist scheme. NC House NC Senate Please make this a November election issue with your lawmakers. We need to hold them accountable. They need to tell you HOW they are going to undo this! More information and evidence is coming regarding ERIC ties to the radical Left. Election Integrity has been a HUGE issue during recent years. A lot of grassroots groups on both sides of the aisle have been taking on the issue and paying close attention to related developments. Several red flags went up when the budget bill was passed by The North Carolina General Assembly. The bill includes authorization for North Carolina to join and send money to something called the Electronic Records Information Center (ERIC). Critics see ERIC as a foot-soldier for the left wing seeking to take America on a long-term leftward trajectory. Others see it as an important resource for cleaning up voter rolls and ensuring the widest possible participation in voting. (Heck, even the John Locke Foundation is endorsing the idea of North Carolina aligning with these folks. ) Alabama has had some recent drama with ERIC. A candidate for that state’s secretary of state post has raised several red flags: A nationwide program that the state of Alabama contracts with to maintain voter information is coming into question after an Alabama Secretary of State candidate announced he will withdraw the state from the program if he is elected. Rep. Wes Allen (R), said the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) is a George Soros-funded organization. “Alabama taxpayers do not want their information provided to a Soros-funded, leftist group like ERIC,” Allen said. Current Secretary of State John Merrill, who is term-limited from running again, signed a contract between the state and ERIC in 2015. The state pays a fee of $28,000 per year, which Merrill feels is a good deal for the services offered. “No state has the capacity to do what ERIC does,’’ Merrill said. “No state has the financial resources to do what ERIC does. No state has the ability, the personnel, or the extra budget to do what ERIC does. “So if they can’t do it, how are you going to do that work,” Merrill asked? As for the Soros’ allegations, Merrill said, “The problem is, ignorant people have information introduced to them, they get a toenail sliver piece of it, and they think it’s enough to write a master’s thesis because they heard somebody say that George Soros was supportive of ERIC and he helped create it.” Allen disagrees. “Through the Pew Charitable Trust, their funding partner is Open Society,” said Allen. “Well, Open Society is George Soros. So, even though the Soros money may have been all spent by now, there’s no dispute that Soros’ money helped feed the project. “Alabama can police our own voter rolls,” Allen added. “Paying about $25,000 a year in taxpayer money to a private non-profit organization – I think Alabama has the resources to do it ourselves.” According to its website, ERIC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to assist states in improving the accuracy of its voter rolls and increase access to voter registration for all eligible citizens. It was formed in 2012 with assistance from The Pew Charitable Trusts. ERIC claims to help states maintain voter rolls by identifying potential registered voters who have passed away, moved out of state or have duplicate registrations. In Alabama, Merrill said ERIC has identified more than 19,000 potential dead voters, more than 22,000 potential cross-state movers, and more than 24,000 voter records of potential duplicates. Merrill also said ERIC can assist in locating and removing illegal immigrants from voting. However, the state’s contract with ERIC, which Merrill provided to 1819 News, states, “Under no circumstances shall the members transmit any record indicating an individual is a non-citizen of the U.S.’’ As of October 2021, 31 states plus the District of Columbia were members of ERIC. However, Louisiana recently suspended its participation after allegations against the program surfaced. In a press release, Allen claimed ERIC was originally managed by David Becker, a well-known Democrat election lawyer who became the architect of ERIC after serving in the Justice Department during the Obama Administration. Becker created the Center for Election Innovation and Research, the same organization accused in 2020 of distributing millions from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to Democrat-led counties. “I don’t know how Alabama got mixed up with these people, but nothing like this will ever happen under my watch if I am elected to serve as Alabama’s next Secretary of State,’’ Allen said. “Soros can take his minions and his database and troll someone else because Alabamians are going to be off-limits – permanently.” Allen is not the only one concerned with ERIC. Members of the state legislature are considering legislation to end the state’s contract with the organization. Alaska, Colorado, Louisiana, and the District of Columbia, which are members of ERIC, are being sued for blocking a review of voter registration records. […] Republican leaders in the North Carolina General Assembly have stated repeatedly, in the face of complaints about ERIC, that the group will not be removed from the state budget.

There were over 229.000 signatures from folks like you who signed the pledge. We gave away boxes of police pledge yard signs right here in NC. We ever ran a security camera raffle and donated the proceeds to the Fraternal Order of Police in Asheville, NC that has been devestated by defunding. The good news is that the loons on the city council figured out that defunding caused crime to increase and officers to leave. They have since increased their budget.

Submitted by Janice Parker School Vouchers the Answer? Hello. Each of you has responded to me about one or more of the three recent school issues - Muddy Sneakers, Pride Day, and the pending Parents' Bill of Rights bill; or I otherwise know you are very concerned about our schools. I'm thinking you will appreciate all the thoughts below. I'm asking you to consider school vouchers as an important answer to our school woes. Might take awhile, but think of the healthy competition in private, religious and trade schools; of home school curricula and fitting your home for homeschool. Plus there are already some terrific options out there that could expand. If you think it's a good idea, contact our State reps (for Henderson County Jake Johnson, Tim Moffitt, Chuck Edwards and hopefully Jennifer Balkcom after Nov) and request they submit/support a true "Parents Bill of Rights" that will put parents in complete control of their children's education by means of school vouchers for those who disenroll their children to teach them by other means. Remind them that the purpose of government according to our foundational Declaration of Independence is to "secure our unalienable rights" including the right of parents to be in control of their children's education.
