I've been working on this issue in North Carolina over the past several weeks.
North Carolina currently is facing two issues:
1) the state Board of Elections will vote on Thursday to increase the standards for certification which will hopefully lead to hand-marked paper ballots for all (except those with disabilities).
2) HB 19, which will delay decertification for insecure voting machines that roughly 1/3 North Carolinians use. This bill passed unanimously in the House.
If you live in North Carolina and care about this issue, please email Damon Circosta (damon.circosta.board@ncsbe.gov) with your viewpoints as he is the new, tie-braking vote on the board.
Additionally, call your state Senator and tell them to oppose HB 19. The bittersweet news is that it doesn't look like it will get taken up this year because of the budget standoff, but it's better to start fighting this battle now.
