And here we go again. NC Republicans are pulling yet another purging stunt to tip the voting scales their way.
NEW: In an alarming development, North Carolina’s GOP-led election board is considering a plan to label certain voters as “presumptive noncitizens,” potentially purging them from the rolls.
It's the latest move in an effort to politicize voter list maintenance and undermine election confidence.

North Carolina weighs investigating ‘presumptive noncitizens’ in latest attack on voting
Republicans took control of the board last year, installing a GOP majority and immediately replacing the long-time, nonpartisan director with a party political operative.

Trump expressed regret over not ordering the National Guard to interfere in the 2020 election, and evaded further questions on whether he would make such an order in the future, raising fears that it could be a possibility in this year’s midterms.

Congratulations, Blue Virginia. And our #leanleftvt volunteers helped make this happen with phone calls, donations. And we met amazing (and young) organizers along the way.
And, as an added bonus, @statenavigate.org is now projecting Dems with 62 seats (out of 100) in the VA House of Delegates (even more amazing when you consider that Dems had only 34 seats heading in to the 2017 elections). Wow, what a night! bluevirginia.us/2025/11/live...

Support for abortion rights are effectively a 60/40 issue in North Carolina. A consistent majority of voters support reproductive freedom, and only a tiny, fringe minority of hardcore anti-choice activists want to ban it.
