Richard, do you reckon this is going to pass? What do we need to do on ground to ensure that it does pass?
There is a very active group working in North Carolina to help pass this bill. Contact Jordon Greene at jmgreene@freethevotenc.com
You can also email me kehayes@freethevotenc.com Please make calls and emails to the Reps on the Election Law committee here:

It looks as if the House version of the bill has more momentum behind it, with what hopefully will be the final committee meeting on the bill before it goes to the House floor today, Wednesday,(hopefully). As Kevin has said contacting the Election Law Committee members is very needed right now, to urge them to keep the requirement as close to the current version of the bill as possible. Once the bill leaves committee we will need to start working on support in the House as whole and begin working more in the Senate to prepare for cross over.
