NC lawmakers are proposing a host of election changes. What you need to know On Wednesday night, lawmakers released a bill that stands to make a number of changes to how elections are conducted. Here's what you should know

andersonalerts.substack.com/p/nc-electio... NC lawmakers mull major election changes. What you should know

Credit to @bryanranderson.bsky.social
for spotting the bill and @carolinaforward.bsky.social for the summary above.

Interesting postscript to this: one of the Republican sponsors of this bill is Rep. Sarah Stevens, the GOP candidate for NC State Supreme Court in 2026. 👀

* bar Attorney General @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social from representing NC SBE in court, and allocate $1.5M of taxpayer money to pay for private Republican attorneys instead
* change campaign finance disclosure rules to require less transparency around Election Day.

House Bill 958 would:
* convert 38% of NC SBE
employees into Republican political appointees, and add 7 more
* permanently ban ranked-choice voting statewide

Introduced last night - HB 958, which should be entitled “How To Rig Elections and Disenfranchise Voters.”

Thank you @ncgovernor.bsky.social!

Inside Trump's push against school desegregation plans Lifting desegregation policies set by federal rules and court orders — some of them a half-century old — could lead to a range of changes in more than 80 school systems.

And there it is - what they really mean when they say Make America Great Again. They’re trying to bring back legalized segregation.
