Call to Action! Election Law Changes Bill Needs to Be Fixed or Nixed! Don't Turn NC into a Blue State!

7/29/2026: Edition 8 sent to the House for concurrence.

7/28/2026: Update: Senator Daniel's two amendments passed:

• change the effective date to remove dead voters and for their removal verification is when the bill is passed, not on January 1, 2027. See page 7, line 10. . (Edition 8)

• Pg 9 lines 47-49: Article 14A of this Chapter and ballots cast under Article 20 and Article 21A of this Chapter that are received by the county board of elections pursuant to G.S. 163-231(b)(1) may be challenged no later than 5:00 P.M. on the fifth third business day after the primary or general election or county 49 bond election.

7/28/2026: H958 was heard in both the Senate Rules and Election committees and was passed. This is the new version, Edition 8. History of the bill is here. (This version of the bill is totally different from the other 6.) Our only objection to this bill is the effective date of January 1, 2027, which needs to be changed to 'effective when the bill becomes law.'. More details to follow. As soon as the NCGA website updates, we will post where the bill is going next. We suspect to the floor for a vote.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is likely that Election Law Changes, H958 Edition 6, will come up for a hearing in the Senate Elections Committee tomorrow, Tuesday, 7/28/26 and then go to the floor for a vote.  You need to call these Senators and demand they either fix this egregious bill or kill it.  Since April of 2025, NCEIT and our members have urged the House and Senate to remove or reinstate the below provisions. Email and call these Senators today. Senate Election Law Committee phone & emails

Dear Senator(s): H958 Election Law Changes is poised to negatively alter our NC elections unless you address these unacceptable provisions as follows: Please do not pass this bill unless you fix it. Restore confidence to our elections.

1.  Foreign Money - There should be no foreign money contributions in our elections. The two exceptions to the definition of foreign nationals should be deleted from the bill. 

2. Proof of Citizenship - Require proof of citizenship for new registrations and define the types of documents to be accepted.  A NC Constitutional Amendment was passed for Citizen Only Voting and it is time to require that citizenship be proven for new registrants.  Add this to the bill which is consistent with the President's Executive Order on this topic.

3.  Proof of Identity - Documents such as a bank statement or utility bill should no longer be allowed to prove identity for voting.  Identification numbers like driver's licenses and social security numbers should be used to prove identity. If identity numbers do not match the voter must be contacted to obtain additional information and be able to only vote a provisional ballot until verification is complete.  Add this to the bill.

4. Social Security Numbers available to Election System - Require the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide full social security numbers for their customers to the State Board of Elections (SBE) to assist the SBE to verify the identity of new voter registrations.  Add this to the bill. 

5. Poll Judge Arrest Authority -  Poll judges should rely on law enforcement to maintain order at polling places rather than providing them arrest authority.  Delete this section to the bill. 

6.Reinstate the ban on Rank Choice Voting that was in previous Editions of the bill. Why was it taken out!! This is the same style of voting in CA, NY and AK and other states who have turned bright blue. How's that working out? Instead of one person one vote, voters get multiple votes in the same race. It is unconstitutional and it is a direct attack on the electoral college. The Commies want the electoral college eliminated. This way a handful of cities across the US will decide our federal elections.

These recommendations have been developed by the NC Election Integrity Team, a volunteer organization which I am a member of.
