North Carolina’s elections are being run by partisan Republicans who are making it clear they don’t want certain people to vote. As election officials prepare for the 2026 elections, it’s critical for voters to keep a close eye on local boards, @billycorriher.bsky.social writes.

We're taking a pause until the new year to rest and recharge. 2025 has tested us all but rest is resistance. Healing is revolutionary. In 2026, we carry forward the lessons learned, connections made and the unshakable belief that true democracy is worth the work. Happy holidays! Until next year ✨🤍

Our research found that post-election protests in 2024 were primarily politically motivated and produced no credible evidence of voting irregularities. SB 747's extended challenge deadline undermined due process by allowing challenges just two days before the Canvass.

Our County Board of Elections Report uncovered this: SB 747 eliminated the three-day grace period for mail ballots in 2024. Result? 2,708 ballots were rejected solely for arriving after Election Day. #NCpol

Thirty days from now, on January 1st, North Carolina will hand out another major tax break to corporations and the ultra-rich, while we deal with rising costs and cuts to programs we need. #NCpol

Democracy NC's 2024 County Board of Elections Report reveals what really happened at the polls: 2,708 ballots rejected by new mail deadlines. 65,000+ provisional ballots cast. 74% of ID-related provisional voters disenfranchised. #NCpol

Last week, NC A&T students lost their on-campus #earlyvoting site. Let's be clear about what this means. #NCpol

This Thanksgiving week looks different for many North Carolina families. The recent government shutdown disrupted #SNAP benefits. For some, gathering around the table means one less chair. But when systems fail us, we keep showing up for each other. #NCpol

When our neighbors are under threat, we all feel it. ICE enforcement is ramping up across NC with no end in sight, but we can show up for each other.⁠ ⁠ There are so many ways to be an ally. Some of the resources listed in the video are below!⁠

NEED AN ATTORNEY? DON'T GET SCAMMED 🚫 ⁠ ⁠ Choosing a reputable immigration attorney is essential. It’s equally important to avoid predatory attorneys or unqualified “consultants” who may overcharge, give incorrect advice or mishandle your case. ⁠ LEGAL RESOURCE BELOW ⬇️ ⁠ #ncpol #immigration #ICEout

Building democracy isn't just protests and phone banks. It's potlucks and story circles. It's celebrating when someone registers for the first time. It's laughter at organizing meetings. Joy is resistance. Community is power. And we're building both across North Carolina. #HappyFriday ⭐

After 42 days, the #GovernmentShutdown finally came to an end. It's now the longest in American history. What did we learn about how democracy actually works? And why it matters for every vote you cast. Let's break it down 🧵👇🏽

#SCOTUS will hear a case that could ban counting ballots that arrive after Election Day - even if postmarked on time. 104K ballots were already rejected in 2024 for arriving late. This could disenfranchise millions who vote by mail. 📰 : @democracydocket.com

Crucial watch-out for 2026: Brian @democracync.bsky.social urges us to keep an eye on how state money will influence these larger races. Big money wants to diminish the grassroots impact. The simple but crucial focus: "Let's make sure our votes are counted."

We often hear the narrative that "apathy" reigns, but Brian @democracync.bsky.social felt the opposite in his university conversations. He saw young people eager to engage more. We have reason to feel hopeful about the future of civic participation.
