Nov 26, 2018, RALEIGH — The legislative battle for NC voter ID (2.0) began today with committee hearing over a draft law proposed last Wednesday by the Republican majority.

The purpose of this page is to empower those who want to prevent electoral abuses made possible by House Bill (HB) 836.

The illusion of honest elections . . . . A young 30-ish white male walks into an early voting location and says he lost his wallet, has no photo ID, and wants to vote. He has to sign a sworn affidavit, stating his identity and his alibi, but it doesn’t matter. He’s using a fake name–a voter who moved away long ago. …
Jun 29, 2015 (Raleigh) — They’re baaaaack. The most popular form of fake ID used in modern vote fraud, called the “HAVA ID,” was almost completely eliminated when North Carolina’s reform-minded legislature passed a comprehensive set of reforms in 2013 (HB 589), but last week’s HB 836, brought those critters back in a big way. …

What went wrong with HB 100? This bill started out to help concerned patriots identify non-US citizens on NC’s voter rolls… but the House amended it to have the opposite effect! As now written, it will actually prevent the public from ever finding non-US citizens on the voter rolls. This blog entry will explain the “inside …
Feb 25, 2015 (RALEIGH) — Yesterday’s surprise snowstorm in most of North Carolina will seem like a minor inconvenience when the storm erupts in some dark places after certain parties learn about a minor one-page bill, filed by Representative Michael Speciale, late that afternoon. The simple measure will apply the same anti-partisanship staffing rules at early (or “one-stop”) voting locations as the …

(Raleigh, NC)–MAY 26, 2014–We didn’t quite run into zombies with “I Voted” stickers in the hallway last week at the Legislature, but we were stunned to learn that House Speaker Thom Tillis was the primary sponsor of HB 1267, a proposal to change the law regarding dead voters: If passed, the measure will legalize counting …
On July 23, 2013, the North Carolina State Senate took a giant leap toward open and honest elections by salvaging the tragically flawed House Bill 589 (commonly called the “voter ID” bill). Their bold action comes very close to making North Carolina’s voter ID law a model for other states to follow. Far from being …
[Note: This story was originally published in the NC Free Press, July 4, 2013] The Voter Integrity Project of NC and the entire nationwide election integrity movement is far bigger than the single issue of illegal immigration; but once in a while, non-citizen voting becomes a factor. For example, how should the public respond when …
(Raleigh, NC)-APR 23, 2013-Lou Stannard was steaming mad and who could blame him?

The bill to “Equalizing Voter Rights” achieves this purpose by providing consequences for college students wishing to abuse a “right” given them by the US Supreme Court.

Below is a message that appears on Elaine Marshall’s campaign website asking visitors to sign a petition against voter photo ID. She is reciting the mantra of the left, saying that the law is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist…. Ms. Marshall sounds like she knows something that no one else knows when she writes, “Right …
Republican leaders are determined to pass a voter ID bill this session and they say their resolve is fueled by promises they made to voters during the 2010 election. Unfortunately, these leaders believe that a bad bill is better than no bill and will offer a compromise to HB 351 (Restore Confidence in Government), the voter photo …
