Senate Elections Cmte is now discussing #SB725 which would prohibit funding from nonprofits to help under-resourced counties pay for elections. Sen. Marcus is worried about taking away all the funding options possible, which also making sure there is no undue influence. Same!
Elections in 2020 were under-funded, with non profit groups having to come in to fund basic necessities like hazard pay for the poll workers who worked during early voting. Sen. Perry doesn't think we should establish funding bc the 2020 pandemic was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Senate Bill 326 (Jim Crow 2.0) is back. And has now been split into 3 different bills: #SB326 #SB724 and #SB725 They’re trying to make it harder for us to fight by making it more confusing, but we’re still here!
The Senate Elections & Redistricting Committee is meeting at 11 am to discuss these 3 bills, you can watch it all go down here: ncleg.gov/LegislativeCal… #ncga #ncpol
If you don’t remember, #SB326 threatens to disenfranchise over 11,000 voters, many identifying as Black, brown, or Indigenous people, by making it harder to vote by mail.
