North Carolina election board flags hundreds of thousands of voters for potential disenfranchisement

[RandySF]

North Carolina’s GOP-controlled election board announced Tuesday it’s sending letters to hundreds of thousands of voters whose registrations were flagged in a database review — a move that puts them at risk of disenfranchisement.

The letters are going to more than 241,000 North Carolina voters whose driver’s license numbers or partial Social Security numbers did not match when checked against government databases, according to the state board.

“This is just another way we are working to have the most accurate voter rolls in North Carolina history,” Sam Hayes, the board’s executive director, said. “This effort does not affect the eligibility of any of these voters to cast ballots in our elections.”

The letters are being sent under a newly GOP-controlled elections board, reshaped by a law stripping appointment power from the Democratic governor and handing it to the Republican state auditor. Hayes, a GOP operative and former top lawyer for the Republican speaker of the state House, was appointed executive director last year after the board removed a longtime nonpartisan administrator.

1. Wondering: How many facing potential disenfranchisement are women?

And how many women will be disenfranchised because their 'married name' no longer matches birth name or previous drivers' pre-marriage license name?

The GOP, and Trump mob in particular, know women are gonna be a real problem for them. There has been talk of disenfranchising women for a few years now. The mismatched name issue could easily be the starting place for the disenfranchisement of millions of women.

GET THE PAPERS YOU NEED TO SHOW WHY BIRTH NAME AND CURRENT NAME MIGHT NOT MATCH? To it NOW!
Here is link to CDC site to guide people to links to use to get certified copies of vital records. Please share the link and why it is needed.

If possible, set up ways to help poor women in your town afford to pay for any/all certified copies of records they need to prove why their names may now be different from the names on their birth certificates.

GOP knows they have lost the female vote in many places. They will try to keep us from voting. Do not let that happen.

Get the word out that women need to get vital records NOW. It takes time for states/counties to get us the docs we may need. DO NOT hesitate.
