I just signed up to be a voting captain as I live in NC. It is crucial we get out the vote here and I am focused first on Buncombe County where I live (Asheville) as we are not focused yet on the early voting. I also will be, if not here working in Mecklenberg.

Thanks for what you're doing and for donating! Sounds like an important initiative- if you have specifics on it that you'd want publicized in this newsletter, feel free to email them to my assistant (una.blumberg@gmail.com).

Do you know of any canvassing needs the last two weekends and the week in between before the election?

Hmm, sorry to hear that- you should get 20 articles per month with a free account, but if you've used those already then that doesn't help. Anyway, thank you for your canvassing efforts!

I’m seriously worried about the election infrastructure in western NC. We’re talking about a large portion of NC who may not be able, and in some cases unwilling to vote. There’s a LOT of unwarranted complaining on social media there about the government’s reaction to the recent disaster. The official info I’m getting is sparse.

Just a heads up. I’m very concerned about NC flipping blue now.
