Have you found it easy to access early voting sites at your local university?

When you make it harder for students to vote, you are saying their voices do not matter. Our democracy is stronger when everyone can participate.🧵

During the 2025 municipal election, an estimated 14,000 students from just these two schools cast their votes on campus. This is a direct attack on young, and particularly Black voters.
January 13, 2026 at 7:25 PM
College voting sites are under attack and dozens of students and advocates from NC A&T and UNCG were attempting to speak at the @ncsbe meeting today about removing these critical campus voting sites. #NCpol 🧵

North Carolina’s elections are being run by partisan Republicans who are making it clear they don’t want certain people to vote. As election officials prepare for the 2026 elections, it’s critical for voters to keep a close eye on local boards, @billycorriher.bsky.social writes.
New Republican election officials make voting harder in North Carolina

The Registration Repair list has dropped from about 103,000 six months ago to 71,770 now. But among active voters who have voted recently, about 6,700 are voters of color, including 4,400 Black voters, 1,100 Hispanic/Latinx voters, 400 Asian voters, still facing this barrier. 🧵🪡

Project these numbers to a busy midterm election: that could mean 250+ rejected ballots, plus hundreds more voters who simply walk away when told to use a provisional ballot. And the list still has 71,770 voters heading into 2026.
🧵🪡
January 8, 2026 at 3:10 PM
Those 17 rejected ballots? Overwhelmingly voters of color: 10 Black voters, 2 Mixed Race voters, 1 Latina, 4 White voters. Several rejections were due to poll worker errors like missing signatures on the provisional ballot form, not voter mistakes.🧵🪡
January 8, 2026 at 3:10 PM
1,085 Registration Repair voters cast provisional ballots in the municipal elections. They had to wait in the Help Desk line, fill out extra forms, and provide their missing ID number. While 98.4% of those ballots ultimately counted, 17 did not.🧵🪡

🚨🗳️ Registration Repair Update: We now have data from the 2025 municipal elections, and it confirms what we've been warning about. Here's what happened when over 1,000 affected voters showed up to cast their ballots. 🧵🪡 #NCPol

Early voting starts in 35 days (February 12). That sounds like a lot of time, but it's not. Before early voting begins, the voter registration deadline is February 6. You have one month to get registered. Do it now, not later: demnc.co/register #NCPol

Our school boards shape the future of public education. Pay attention to what they're doing and hold them accountable. Our teachers and students are counting on us to show up.
January 7, 2026 at 7:42 PM
This is why school board races matter. The people elected last year to oversee our schools decide whether teachers can afford to stay in the classroom and whether students get the support they need to thrive.⁠
January 7, 2026 at 7:42 PM
Teachers at 52 schools walked out to demand fair pay, restored benefits, and the resources our students deserve. When NC ranks 43rd in teacher pay and last in school funding nationally, something has to change.
January 7, 2026 at 7:42 PM
Today, educators across North Carolina took a stand for our public schools, and we stand with them. #NCEducation
