According to Democracy Docket, roughly 3% of mail ballots are being rejected across 27 counties reviewed–twice the statewide rejection rate in 2022. In some counties, rejection rates have reached 7–8%. Thousands more ballots could be rejected if those trends continue.
BE ADVISED THAT MANY OF THOSE REJECT WILL BE REPUBLICAN VOTERS. THEY ALSO FORGET TO SEAL THEIR ENVELOPES.
Happy Birthday Stevie! (I'm assuming after Stevie Nicks?)
So much corruption from this REGIME and now TREASON! Yes, I'll say it - aiding and giving comfort to our enemy over our Ally Ukraine! We soooo need this Fascist regime OUT! It's Article 3 Section 3 as Dan Rather pointed out in yesterdays (I believe) email.
Good for you, campaigning with Talarico! Hope he wins along with ALL the Blue candidates!
That news about mail in ballots makes me need to say it again do NOT use the mail take your ballot to a ballot box or your election official (unless of course you are too far away, but then do as the instructions say!)
Thank you for your posts. People like you, with the background and experiences are so vital as we wade through what will be a dangerous time. I feel like I am on heightened alert all the time
Thank you for exposing that Trump's war on voting by mail and the Postal service hurts rural Trump voters the most. I've been saying that since he started. Vote-by-mail actually helped him win Oklahoma in 2024. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!
On your point #1: Not only must you seal BOTH envelopes (the ballot envelope inside the mailing envelope) but there is a THIRD envelope where you must place YOUR PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP and that third envelope on the OUTSIDE THE MAILING ENVELOPE --- MUST BE *** UNSEALED! YES; our great Republican controlled legislature wants your ID to be 'easy to read' and 'easy to steal'. AND if it is not there your ballot will not be counted.

SAFE TRAVELS, OLIVIA AND THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!
Olivia, everyone concerned about voter suppression should subscribe to Democracy Docket with Marc Elias.
Happy birthday Stevie! 🎂🐕

Happy Birthday Ringo and Stevie! So adorable! Thank you Olivia for all that you are doing!🫶
So here we are, at a most critical time.

I voted early. Love the vote tracker feature of vote-by-mail. The county let me know yesterday that my vote has been counted.😀
Hegseth could break a bowling ball in half, and lose half of it. I just hope we hang on until swearing in.
God Bless you for all you do. Happy Birthday to Stevie. 🐾🦴
For North Carolina Voters:
On your point #1: Not only must you seal BOTH envelopes (the ballot envelope inside the mailing envelope) but there is a THIRD envelope where you must place YOUR PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP and that third envelope on the OUTSIDE THE MAILING ENVELOPE --- MUST BE *** UNSEALED! YES; our great Republican controlled legislature wants your ID to be 'easy to read' and 'easy to steal'. AND if it is not there your ballot will not be counted.
In Republican-controlled North Carolina it is up to you to check the election web site to verify that your vote was counted:
(IF your county uses an automatic vote tabulation machine you should be able to verify immediately) BUT the day AFTER you vote go to this web site:
https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup
Check the unchecked box for 'Removed or denied'
Click on SEARCH
on the next page Click on your name
on the next page scroll down to 'YOUR BALLOT' and
Verify that your ballot was accepted
If your ballot does NOT show the date you voted, 'VALID RETURN' and 'ACCEPTED' ---
CONTACT YOUR COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS IMMEDIATELY'
NOTE: I've NEVER felt the need to do this before but I sure did this year.
Thank you for the breakdown and take care on the road. Ringo and Stevie made my morning.
