From Gov. Roy Cooper, NC (D)

And here they go with advice from election deniers and fraud perpetrators. Don’t be fooled. This isn’t about protecting elections. It’s about rigging them to help Republicans. - RC

The 2024 elections in North Carolina could be conducted under far stricter rules under a proposal being crafted behind closed doors by Republican lawmakers — with input from a lawyer best known for assisting in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Republican operatives and state lawmakers expect a massive package of laws — affecting everything from voter ID to early voting, mail-in ballots, voter registration rules and more — to be filed in the coming days.

“From talking to leaders in the House and Senate, it appears they’re going to bundle all these meritorious changes … and put them in an omnibus bill,” Jim Womack, a longtime GOP politician and party insider familiar with Republican leaders’ thinking on the issue, said in an interview Wednesday afternoon. “This is something my group has been pushing for.”

Womack’s group is the Election Integrity Network, whose state chapter he runs with Cleta Mitchell, a former lawyer for then-President Donald Trump. She and Womack have met with high-ranking Republican lawmakers in recent weeks, pushing their goals for changes to election laws ahead of the 2024 elections. They say their changes will add security to elections and give people more faith that future results aren’t rigged.

“The biggest issue across the nation is distrust in elections,” Womack said. “And it’s not just conservatives. It is more with conservatives, but it’s both sides.”

3. I hope the North Carolina voters are listening - Thank you Gov. Cooper

The Repukes can't win unless they cheat. That's why they prefer things like voter suppression, gerrymandering, ballot rigging and disinformation. Dems must be forever vigilant and call out the sneaky Repukes every time.

Both sides DON'T do it! We must never turn our backs on the Repukes.

6. Yes! Dark money can only illegally coordinate with an election campaign, but no law can't

coordinate, aka bribery and corruption, in the other times!

Who’s going stop the Dark Money, the toothless federal election commission and the corrupted, partisans wholly unfit Republican election commissions?

What’s the opposite of independent, cause that’s the root of he problem…bias, who’s mother root is money,

4. GQP has to cheat to get elected anymore

They have only hate and cruelty. Zero programs or policies to attract anyone. All they do is repel.
Glad NC has a Democratic governor (same as my Wisconsin).
Thank you.

5. Dark Money does make a poignant point...

The obvious solution is to depoliticize election administration! Like all democratic nations except the greatest of them all!!?

Who else thought of this, just mea!?
