Per NCSBE data request from @BryanAnderson, here's the form that's about to go out to 82,737 NC voters who need to update their registration in order to avoid having to cast a provisional ballot. #ncpol

The #NChouse is considering a bill which (among other awful things) would prohibit board of elections members from encouraging people to vote... #ncpol #HB958 #BoardofElections

The new Pope is Robert Prevost, an American Cardinal who was close to Pope Francis. He chose the name Leo XIV. #vatican #pope

Below are the remarks Karen Brinson Bell was not allowed to deliver at today’s #NCSBE meeting. She stayed after to share them—but the feed was cut. If today was any sign, NC elections are in for a rough ride… #ncpol

The 1st Latin American, the poorest' Pope, Pope Francis has died.In the next 2 weeks, a #conclave of the world's cardinals will convene and a new #Pope will be elected (no #cardinal aged 80+ may vote in a conclave). May his memory be a blessing.#pope #blessings #catholics #LatinAmericanPope #Vatican

After Justice Riggs appealed the #NCCourtofAppeals ruling; the #NCSupremeCourt has now issued a stay which means that the #NCCourt ofAppeals ruling will NOT go into effect.
I will keep you all posted!

Want a visual? Here's one.
📸 1st photo: My neighborhood—less than 10 short streets—where 11 voters are being challenged (1 dot didn’t even show).
📸 2nd photo: A large section of #cumberlandcountync.
Every red dot=a voter whose ballot is being challenged.
Yes, this is real.

P.S. this is Kid Rock on March 31st, 2025.

Presentation by #NCSBE Director Karen Brinson-Bell in #RaefordNC -love the slogan "We don't stop an election-we figure out how to proceed" & the tongue in cheek "Through Helene and High Water" #BOE #cumberlandcountync #CCBOE #BoardofElections #District5meeting #ncpol

Our #cumberlandcountycommissioners recognized the #BOE staff for their outstanding work during this past #election, which was particularly heated and taxing. (missing from the photo are the Director and Deputy Director). We owe them all a debt of #gratitude. #elections #cumberlandcountync #NCSBE
