Podcast Ep 11 - Protecting the Vote in North Carolina

Indivisible Charlotte hosts an “In The Know Live” conversation on protecting the vote in North Carolina as voting begins, featuring Sailor Jones (Common Cause NC), Stefanía Arteaga (Carolina Migrant Network / Comunidad Colectiva), and journalist Billy Ball (Cardinal & Pine). The panel discusses new State Board of Elections guidance affecting absentee ballot “spoilage” rates, North Carolina’s use of DHS’s SAVE database and potential impacts on voters, and the line between lawful poll observation and intimidation. Guests share practical steps for voters and poll workers, including documenting incidents, notifying election officials, and using the nonpartisan hotline 888-OUR-VOTE. They address misinformation and disinformation, concerns about federal agents near polling places, and preparations for the post–Election Day certification period, including potential ballot challenges and legislative actions.
