What's helped me since i last answered this question (i think, didn't check dates precisely):

• i have made it a point to reach out to some people i know who are directly affected by the anti-trans executive order. I can be part of mutual aid connections by letting others know i am available.
• I found a small mission: i will badger Thom Tillis as much as i can with my opinions about US Senate votes, and as soon as Roy Cooper declares he's running for the US Senate, i will support him. Flip the US Senate.
• I assumed technology error instead of partisanship and re-sent a message about checking out whether you were one of the 700+ challenged ballots in the county to the county mailing list.The editor found the original in their spam folder, sent it to the list. There were a couple favorable responses. It's the best i can do for "letters to the editor."

Why challenged ballots: NC votes for the state supreme court. The race was very tight and the race's looser has been fighting tooth and nail, now trying to get ... 6000, i think? ... ballots thrown out due to some errors in the voting registration process. I'm fuzzy on the details: there was a bad form?

The most frustrating part of it all is that in many cases it seems the information is old or bad - e.g., there are instances where people have already provided the correct/updated information and voted without context since that time, but Griffin's list is pulling from an even earlier voter registration record. If the court buys his argument and throws this election, I'm not sure there's anything left of ethics in our institutions to save.

Oh good grief. Hadn't seen that charming detail.
