URGENT: Count every vote!
The NC election is NOT over!
Fight for NC (the NC Coordinated Campaign and NCDP) needs our help getting outstanding ballots counted through Nov 12.
Door-to-door CANVASSING
“Provisional ballot” canvassing requires
a one-time training offered at 7pm nightly.
Email noc@neighborsoncall.org if you'd like the recording of the training so you can start today.
You will receive a confirmation email with details.
Watch the recording of our 11/4/20 event about this here.

Understandably, some information has changed since then, including:
-
Training is no longer being offered for absentee ballot curing. Provisional ballots are what the Party needs help with.
-
The campaign has enough phone bankers. Thanks to those of you helping with that!
-
Why is this critical?
-
Many races are too close to call.
-
One very important statewide race we can certainly impact is Chief Justice Cheri Beasley's, who is currently down by about 2600 votes!
-
A few NC House races are also within reach.
-
Time is of the essence.
What is the difference between curing absentee ballots and resolving provisional ballots?
-
Curing resolves some issues with mail-in ballots that can be fixed by the voter signing an affidavit.
-
“Provisional ballots” are votes cast in-person on Election Day that require follow up action by the voter.
