Thank you for highlighting more about this crazy situation!

I was on the Zoom call Monday night with Anderson Clayton and Allison Riggs, several other speakers and 2,000 attendees. The call was originally set up for folks who wanted to volunteer to help cure ballots of those on "the Griffin list", but with the stay in place for now, the session was good information about how the NCDems are organized and have a plan to get the word out once help is needed. The 15 day turnaround will only occur after a final court decision AND (if) all of the disinfranchised voter names are returned to the actual County Board of Elections where the votes occurred, AND each County Board then sends letters out to those voters with the 15 day notice stated. So currently there is time to check on your status and find out what, if anything, you need to do.

Here is the link to the video from the Zoom meeting, worth watching, Anderson Clayton and Allison Riggs do a fantastic job.

Also, about 30,000 of those voters have absolutely nothing wrong even with Griffin’s view of right and wrong. There are about 38,000 left. And some people have moved since the election and most likely some have died.

The BOEs in many cases have all of the information needed but somehow not all in one place. Sometimes what people put on their registration didn't get transferred properly to their BOE.

And finally, Griffin only cares about his election, not all of the other races. As I've said before, he needs to be removed from the Court of Appeals and disbarred.

Not surprised at appeals decision. I've known one of the Appeals Court judges since we were kids. He's been MAGA material all of his life. NC has been classified as an impaired democracy for several years now; equivalent to a banana republic, beginning with the GOP takeover in 2010. Now, how can I help?

So, I just got blessed out by Jonah Gerson (sp?), 1st VC of NCDP for sharing this with him. The Riggs' campaign and the NCDP wants us to do NOTHING! Do not organize a canvass of people on the Griffin list, don't contact them to get them to fix their registration. Do not make ANY plans AT ALL to tactically address the situation. Don't make any plans, do not even get ready to do anything, do not even talk about curing. Apparently, I'm just a silly boomer who has been campaigning for 50 years, knocked on thousands of doors, organized hundreds of volunteers, run multiple campaigns, and I should just shut up. The "youth" have taken over the party and just want to throw us old folks away.

What a shame, North Carolina, of all places a wonderful place to live and thrive, degraded by the degenerate GOP. I have great faith in my neighbors to the north to right this wrong. Pretty sure voters will punish them in the mid-terms.
