#BREAKING | North Carolina gets a 14th seat in the US House of Representatives via the new #Census2021 count.

In total, 7 seats will shift among 13 states, the smallest # of shifts since the current method of apportionment began in 1941. #ncpol

Couldn’t get a spot to speak on the details of the photo ID amendment? You can still let tomorrow’s Joint Legislative Elections Oversight Committee know where you stand on photo ID: https://t.co/NLHLCcLRXh #ncga #ncpol

Seeing long lines, waits to vote? Reminder: #ncga’s Early Voting mandates meant fewer weekend hours and sites this year and would have eliminated today’s popular Saturday voting altogether (as it will after '18). RT if you think it’s time legislators rethink these changes! #ncpol

N&O: "Their strategy for gaining voter approval of amendments that range from needless to dangerous relies on voters being kept in the dark.” https://t.co/LvgPRZFykt #ncga #ncpol

2,400 IDs from NC DMV have a ‘ghost image'; will be DELAYED https://t.co/kOUh9xcrWb

Problems happen. And if a strict photo ID amendment is placed in the constitution, it's not just thousands of voters without IDs whose ballot access could be on the line

@SWalker_NC @democracync 2 states have it in their constitution. Neither goes as far as House Bill 1092’s voter ID language. #ncga #ncpol

If at first you don’t succeed… House Rules will take up new PCS for Rep. Justin’s Burr’s judicial gerrymandering bill, HB717, with last-minute changes expected that could have implications for 2018 voting districts. Listen in @3: https://t.co/bRdjc6NVac #suppressionsession #ncga

SB757 Sponsor Bishop earlier said he believed there was a high priority to "fixing Mecklenburg County" judicial districts, but didn’t show support for any one full map of 9 maps introduced under Rep. Justin Burr’s Judicial Redistricting Bill, HB717 https://t.co/9tkOQHApDM #ncga

[Democracy NC @democracync]

Head’s up: as promised, GOP bill to “fix” Mecklenburg County judicial districts does just that — splits the districts into 8, both Superior and District.. Filed today, up in Senate Elex tomorrow. #ncga #suppressionsession

In 2016, it wasn’t just #13Russians who made false allegations of voter fraud in North Carolina. https://t.co/QHMysZY026

Surprise! Looks like changes to the State Board of Elections have been rolled into HB90 — a bill about classroom size (now "Changes to Education and Election Laws”) #ncga #ncpol https://t.co/Beh2rAiIYP

RT if you agree with @dale_e_ho, director of the @ACLU's Voting Rights Project: “our democracy is more vibrant when more individuals participate.”

AP reporting (https://t.co/304yKC6ryb) #ncga wants to drop new judicial gerrymanders on Monday and vote on them as soon as Tuesday. So much for “the public having ample time to provide feedback.” FIGHT BACK against back-door schemes against #faircourts: https://t.co/nDeQSTrzcS
