Election sabotage is alive and well in North Carolina 👀

Texts now confirm Dallas Woodhouse — election liaison to the State Auditor and former NC GOP director — told Columbus County’s board chair five early voting sites were “overkill,” three were “plenty.” That day she liked the message, and weeks later, her proposal matched his exactly.

This behavior is not isolated. In Pasquotank, Woodhouse ordered board members to “drop Sunday.” In Jackson County, he said, “don’t let them have a vote,” hours before a decision that went his way.

Taken together, this is a paper trail of partisan interference — a state official sabotaging election outcomes the law says belong to local boards alone. Though Woodhouse resigned in July, the damage he’s done still lingers.

20 counties now have contested plans before the North Carolina State Board of Elections. Public comment is open until Aug. 17 ahead of the Aug. 20 public hearing.

Last Saturday, we gathered in Winston-Salem to commemorate the signing of the Voting Rights Act with a special Freedom Rising Tour stop honoring the generations of voting rights advocates who fought to protect our freedom to vote. 💜⁠

They can redraw the maps. They can change the rules. But they cannot stop us from organizing.⁠
⁠
If you couldn't make it to Winston-Salem, there are still several Freedom Rising Tour stops across Eastern North Carolina and the Greater Triangle, and we’d love to have you join us at one of them.⁠

Shame on North Carolina lawmakers for protecting their power instead of our elections.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: North Carolina voters deserve better.

When you let voting rights be rolled back in one city, you open the door for the same thing to happen everywhere.⁠
⁠
Debbie’s point is clear: these attacks on local representation are not isolated. When voter access, fair representation, and community voices are weakened, no city is truly safe from the same pattern. ⁠
⁠
That is why protecting democracy means staying alert, connected, and ready to push back before the damage spreads. ⁠

20 North Carolina counties couldn't agree on their 2026 early voting plans, and now the State Board of Elections (and your public comment) decides what happens next.

From cutting Sunday voting to eliminating specific polling sites, these disputes could mean less access to the ballot box for hundreds of thousands of voters.

The good news? The decision isn't final yet, and that's exactly why public comment matters. The State Board hasn't chosen a final plan for these counties, and enough public pressure can push them toward the option that protects access instead of cutting it.

Submit a public comment asking the board to protect Sunday voting and keep current sites open. Tell them to preserve full poll hours too.

The Supreme Court spent forty years dismantling every legal tool Black voters built to fight discriminatory maps, specifically cracking, packing, and disenfranchising thousands across North Carolina.

The ballot is what remains, and we intend to use it like our grandparents did, like everything depends on it, because it does. Will you join us?
