Guidance from #NCSBE #ncpol

This would be a good time for national news sites to promote the folks on the ground in NC, doing the work: @ncnewsline.com @downhomenc.bsky.social @beaconmedia.bsky.social @theassemblync.bsky.social

Statement from the NCSBE on today's court of appeals decision: www.ncsbe.gov/information-.... Directs anyone who is worried to reregister with all required info (last 4 digits of SSN or NCDL # are now required). Curing process may or may not happen, depending on appeals. #ncpol

A few notes to everyone freaking out about this verdict: 1. It will be appealed, so it's unclear if/when the directives in this decision would take place. 2. The 15 day period for voters to cure their registration would only start AFTER A LETTER IS MAILED to voters from their CBOE, not today.

This should be an interesting race to watch. NC's 18th Senate District encompasses Granville County and the northern portion of Wake County.

As things stand, approx 267 NC voters stand will have ballots tossed, another approx 65,782 will be given 15 business days to correct deficiencies in their registration and/or provide photo ID. Wondering if your vote at risk? Spreadsheet here--> #ncpol docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This will be appealed, but it looks like we're headed towards a massive ballot curing process here in NC. I'd be curious to see stats on how reliably the USPS even delivers mail within 15 business days, much less the time to receive a response.

Slightly shocked that he's still able to speak at all, much less this articulately.

9 Republicans voted w/Dems to halt this weeks voting on the No Rogue Rulings Act, which would limit the power of federal judges to impose nationwide injunctions like those that have blocked Trump administration actions; and the SAVE Act, proof of citizenship to vote. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

Watching votes on various resolutions on the House floor and kind of understand what's happening. Really disgusting that they tried to lump together support for congresspeople who have recently given birth with the SAVE Act. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

Watching this caused the chorus of Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man" to start looping in my head.

Today's mantra, which just landed in my inbox courtesy of my coworker who also has a motivational gospel radio show and periodically sends little nuggets of positivity to our team: "your MOTHER did not raise YOU to ask for permission to LEAD." #womenshistorymonth #herstory

This is why local reporting matters! @triangleblogblog.bsky.social is on it, again.

Well done @melissapricekromm.bsky.social! "History is clear: when governments restrict speech, curb and capture democratic institutions, and persecute marginalized groups, despite those who bravely rise up in defiance, they are signaling a descent into authoritarianism."

Spent all day at the lovely @nclocal.bsky.social summit and then opened this app when I got home to catch up on the day's news....and immediately wished I hadn't 😞

Just received a rejection for a grant application I submitted 2 years ago with a vague statement about not being "in alignment with current funding priorities." No idea if that means 2023 or 2025 priorities, but WTF. #isthisweekoveryet

Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social has been suing to block Trump's executive orders. Now the #ncga wants to take away his power to do that. www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol

Keung Hui HB144 filed Monday would ask voters to amend the NC Constitution to make State Board of Education members elected positions instead of being appointed by governor. GOP-sponsored bill would also make state supt. the board chair. #nced #ncpol #ncga www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2...

An "audit showed 29,972 voters being challenged by Jefferson Griffin did, in fact, provide the requisite identification numbers when they registered." www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol

Update: Today, the NCSBE has formally petitioned for NC Supreme Court to bypass Court of Appeals & immediately take up Griffin's election protest. Riggs supports this; Griffin doesn't. The stakes: Whether Griffin would need a 4-2 or 3-3 SupCo vote to overturn election. #ncpol

Per NC Court of Appeals order, a hearing in Supreme Court protest wouldn't take place this month, with final briefs due March 3rd. In meantime, NC Supreme Court is being asked to bypass the Court of Appeals. #ncpol

Excellent overview of the years-long effort to revamp the composition and oversight of our elections boards. This sh*t matters. Pay attention, y'all.

Vincent Price bashing the Duke Respect Durham campaign from the podium at the Duke Center for Community Engagement launch is not a great look.

Sorry, but you really don't have a right to yell things at women about what they should do with their bodies.

This tool is amazing: www.propublica.org/article/prop..., although it is somewhat unsettling to see the reality of how white flight has impacted our public schools.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.
