Can We model Hungary's Take Down of Autocracy Here in NC?

After 15 yrs of GOP domination of our state's legislature, North Carolina's GOP-run State Board of Elections is doing everything it can to tip the scales in the party's favor by drawing voting districts that dilute non-GOP voters (called gerrymandering), closing polling sites in precincts that tend to vote for democrats, change mail-in voting rules at the last minute to more easily toss those ballots, etc... What's the remedy? Read on about how Hungary booted out a 16 yr autocracy that did all of the above and more to stay in power. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-autocracy-hungary\_n\_6a2ea097e4b0942fb77916dc

Musk Voter Mailer Alert

Verify your existing voter registration at NCSBE.gov or VOTE411.org.
If you need to register to vote, follow the instructions at NCSBE.gov. There are multiple ways to register via online or by mail or in person before the midterms. Relying on nefarious mailers like the one described in this video that is going out to voters in battleground states is not a great way to protect your vote.
