Here's an important message:
EVERY VOTE MUST COUNT!
Please join us – Democracy North Carolina, NC Fair Share,
Raleigh NOW, Planned Parenthood, & NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina
– in standing up for voter's rights!
On Wednesday, March 2nd the Wake County Superior Court will decide
the fate of more than 11,000 provisional ballots cast by North
Carolinians on Election Day. In the still-undecided election for
Superintendent of Public Instruction, the court is considering throwing
out 11,310 provisional ballots, despite a provisional ballot law passed
in NC two years ago to protect against this kind of voter
disenfranchisement. More than 11,000 North Carolinians could lose their
voice in matters that directly affect them as tax-paying citizens in
North Carolina – representation in our state government! We must
act now!
Show your support by participating in any or all of the following activities on March 2nd:
