Republicans publicly criticize Chair Clayton, while sweating behind the scenes knowing damn well she's actively changing the landscape of North Carolina 😎 Trust me, y'all β€” she's going to keep pushing!

North Carolina Republicans just introduced House Bill 66, which would change the early voting period to just six days. Republicans continue to show time and time again that they don't give a shit about your right to vote.

Your DNC Vice Chair for Civic Engagement and Voter Participation, Reyna Walters-Morgan 😎🀝 @reynawaltersmorgan.com @abreezeclayton.bsky.social

Democratic members of the Buncombe NCGA delegation were sworn in on a destroyed bridge in East Asheville, overlooking the Swannanoa River. We have a long road ahead β€” but as a proud Western North Carolina native, I can confidently say that these leaders have not and will not let us be forgotten.

The best state party Chair in the country is running for re-election β€” hop on board, y'all!

With all due respect, we don't need any current elected officials or candidates in DNC Chair or Vice Chair roles. Democrats deserve leaders who are giving their all to one role β€” not holding multiple just for the titles.

Don't let anything distract you from the fact that Republicans in North Carolina are trying to throw out over 60,000 votes in an effort to overturn a fair election. Republicans will do *anything* to take power β€” that's why Democrats are fighting back. ncnewsline.com/briefs/repub...

A White House Christmas πŸŽ„πŸŽ

β€œThe idea that someone could have been registered to vote, came to vote and then had their vote discarded is anathema to the democratic system and simply cannot be tolerated,” – Alan Hirsch, chairman of the NC State Board of Elections

After multiple recounts, Justice Allison Riggs is still solidly ahead. Jefferson Griffin should honor the will of the people β€” not get his Republican friends to throw out 60,000 ballots. North Carolinians deserve better and we're not going to let Republicans silence us.

NC Dems had 800+ people on this call earlier tonight πŸ‘€

Y'all, this is huge – North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs wins by just 623 votes out of over 5.5 million cast! There will be a recount but that won't change 600+ votes. NC Democrats continue to outperform expectations despite a tough national environment! πŸ™Œ

UPDATE: Justice Riggs' lead is now 623 votes #ncpol

As of about 5:45pm, Justice Riggs is up 66 votes with Craven, Dare, Duplin, and Forsyth counties left outstanding. Dare and Duplin won't change much, if at all, but Craven and Forsyth should make an impact here. #ncpol

As of ~1:30pm, Justice Allison Riggs is now leading by 66 votes. We're still waiting on several counties, it might be another long day of refreshing the NCSBE dashboard. #ncpol

As of today, Justice Riggs is leading by just 24 votes out of over 5.5 million #ncpol

Durham and Pasquotank counties are now in – Justice Allison Riggs leads by 106 votes with over 5.5 million cast! #ncpol

We just got Wake County in and Rep. Terence Everitt is the apparent winner in NC Senate District 18! Final margin of 134 votes, pending a potential recount that won't change the outcome – which makes this a Democratic hold following redistricting. Congratulations to Senator-Elect Everitt! #ncpol

Wake County is in and Democratic Justice Allison Riggs is now leading statewide, currently by just 129 votes.. 😳 This is going to come down to Monday's results, folks! #ncpol

The NC Supreme Court race is coming down to the wire. Out of over 5.5 million votes the race is currently down to a margin of just a few thousand. There are several counties left to report, including the strong Democratic county of Wake. It's going to be a close one... #ncpol

Y'all... Today is the final day to count votes in North Carolina and NC Senate 18 is going to be decided by just a few votes. They're not finished yet – and this is well within the recount threshold – but this just proves again that *every single vote* matters!

Hopping on the BlueSky train! Who all from #ncpol has made it over?
