John, we cannot for one second overlook the ongoing Republican assault on our democracy.

GOP legislators — including those here in North Carolina — would prefer you forget about their attacks on our rights. We cannot afford to.

That’s why I wrote an op-ed for CNN, warning about the threat to our state.

As I said in the piece for CNN, Republicans in North Carolina — ironically a state that Trump won — are moving to limit access to the ballot box and sow chaos in our election certification process.

Republicans here are armed with a legislative supermajority and a court system stacked with ultra-partisan Republican judges. North Carolinians and people across the country must take heed.

One of the GOP’s most pernicious bills is a blatant attempt to entrench its power further by targeting young and nonwhite voters who tend to vote more often for Democrats. I recently vetoed this bill. However, Republicans have pledged to use their veto-proof legislative supermajority to override my veto.

And here’s potentially the biggest threat inside this Trojan horse. Deadlock at the State Board of Elections means contested elections and electoral disputes can be decided by the supermajority Republican Legislature and the highly partisan Republican majorities in our appellate courts. Of the states Trump won in 2020, North Carolina was the closest. In 2024, it’s not hard to imagine a narrow Joe Biden victory that is overturned by right-wingers in the Legislature or the courts when there is gridlock at the State Board of Elections.

The dangers of these bills reach far beyond the borders of our state. And if past is prologue, it’s not long before Republicans in other states launch similar attacks. For years, on matters from anti-LGBTQ legislation to technologically diabolical gerrymandering, we’ve seen legislatures around the country moving to copy right-wing legislation out of North Carolina.

Sinister, anti-voter efforts aren’t new, and we’ve stopped many of them before in the state. We must do so again now.

We CAN’T let them get away with it.

John, I’m asking you personally to donate what you can to help me defeat anti-voter, anti-democracy candidates next year. Together, we can elect leaders who will uphold our rights. [[link removed]]
