John, I'm hearing that turnout is strong today, but few polling places are experiencing lines. If you haven't yet voted, get out there and make your voice heard!

Polls are open until 7:30 p.m., and if you're in line by then, you will be able to vote. Be patient and stay in line!

Speaking of patience, we know not every race will be called tonight because a record number of Americans voted by absentee ballot, and those will continue coming in for days after tonight.

This is normal. Every vote should be counted. Tell your friends and family to be patient with the process because it means our democracy is working.

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you our below memo about all the great work you helped us do in this election with your financial support and activism. Fingers crossed, but we're cautiously optimistic that we will be a big part of major change in North Carolina, with some new pro-environment leaders in offices across the state.

RE: NCLCV PRE-ELECTION MEMO: Our historic $2.1 million investment in electing environmental champions in North Carolina

In 2020, Conservation Votes PAC (CVP), the independent expenditure arm of the North Carolina League of Conservation Voters (NCLCV), spent over $2.1 million on state races to re-elect Gov. Roy Cooper and elect environmental champions to back him up on the Council of State and in the General Assembly. This year is CVP’s largest electoral investment ever, smashing our then-previous record of $1.3 million two years ago.

2020 is the culmination of CVP’s eight-year strategy to build pro-environment leadership in our state. This started with electing leaders to the state House in 2014, continued with Gov. Cooper’s election in 2016, and then ramped up with 2018’s effort to break the anti-environment legislative supermajority in 2018. That successful campaign grew our Green Caucus, which we hope will now be in the majority in at least one chamber after November 3.

In addition to our $2.1 million investment in state races this year, our national partner LCV Victory Fund (LCVVF) separately made both early and late investments in federal races in North Carolina, including on behalf of Joe Biden for President, Pat Timmons-Goodson in the 8th Congressional District, and $3.1 million to elect Cal Cunningham to the U.S. Senate.

On top of this independent expenditure work from CVP and LCVVF, environmental advocates across the country donated over $1,146,000 directly to North Carolina state candidates through the GiveGreen platform.
