That's why #LeanLeftVermont has been working with grass roots groups and county and state Dems in NC over the years.
We've participated in phone banks that reach out to voters who have been purged. Looks like we'll be helping out again!
Is this the only way Republicans can win? One of many ways.
Republicans on the North Carolina State Board of Elections voted to move forward with using a federal immigration database to check state voter rolls.
The move marks an escalation in the board's ongoing effort to scrutinize rolls that could put eligible voters at risk of being purged.
Each month we make contributions to an organization working to strengthen democracy in our target states of PA, NC, NH, and VA.
This month: BlueVote.Org! This organization gets out the vote, counters disinformation, and trains young leaders, all on a shoestring budget.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Trump is dragging down the GOP in North Carolina, a state he's won 3 times. Trump's net approval is down to -15 pts on average and down to -42 (!) pts with independents. This helps to make Democrat Roy Cooper a favorite in the Senate race there, as his chances have skyrocketed.”
State officials hold the power to make and enforce rules for the conduct of elections.
That's why Lean Left Vermont focuses our work on state elections in the swing states of PA, NC, VA, and NH!

Instead of squeezing the folks doing the hardest jobs, how about we ask the wealthiest to pay their fair share?" - @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/02/mond...
