UPDATED: Action was Needed on Same Day Voter Registration

Thanks to everybody who called or e-mailed, both at BlueNC and on my e-mail list. Jerry has affirmed his position in favor of H91/S195, so the crisis has been averted. They got the message due in no small part to your lobbying, and it's a good bet that S195 will pass now that the NCDP is behind it again. This is a major legislative victory for the NCYD, and YDs across the state, including the new leadership that will be sworn in at JJ, thank you for your efforts.

So where do we go from here?

After this bill passes in the Senate, it will be signed by Gov. Easley (who supports it) and it will enter into law ... but that doesn't mean that we wait until election day to recruit new voters. This means we still need to register as many voters as we can ASAP, while increasing our teams on election day. Less "poll workers" and more GOTV teams. More work on early voting days. I'm ready for it - are you?

Trying to get a straight answer out of McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds.

BTW: I'm glad that Talking Points Memo posted this excerpt on Youtube, but since when does TiVo'ing something allow you to brand it with your logo? That's the Wild West...

Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory says he wants to change the culture in Raleigh. I guess that's why he wrote this letter to PAC lobbyists asking for their fundraising help. Change you can believe in? Riiiiiiight. Join the conversation here.
