Livy Polen published Just Like With Radical Ross, Emily’s List Sabotages Beasley’s Campaign Early in Press Releases 2021-05-06 14:40:48 -0400
May 6, 2021
For Immediate ReleaseRaleigh, NC - Today, the Democrat dark money group Emily’s List sabotaged former Chief Justice Cheri Beasley’s campaign for the U.S. Senate. This week, the National Journal reported that Democrats were already comparing Beasley’s judicial record to failed U.S. Senate candidate Deborah Ross’s radical record. During the 2016 race, Rossleaned heavily on her Emily’s List endorsement to shore up support from the establishment, and it looks like Beasley is trying to do the same.
While racing to the left on the abortion issue is necessary to secure the Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate, North Carolina voters have much more moderate views on the abortion question. Which is one of the reasons why Emily’s List endorsed candidates went on to lose the general election in 2010, 2014, and 2016.
“With uber-liberal dark money Washington-based groups trying to clear the field for Beasley, the path for Republicans to win the general elections becomes easier,” said NCGOP Communications Director Tim Wigginton. “The extreme pro-abortion group’s early endorsement of Beasley is the clearest sign yet that Republicans need to simply dust off their playbook from 2016 to defeat Beasley just like we defeated Deborah Ross.”
Emily’s List’s decision to endorse Beasley over former state senator Erica Smith will likely generate substantial backlash as it did during 2020, especially since Emily’s List refused to help Smith as the DSCC and other dark money liberal groups carried fatally flawed Cal Cunningham to victory in the primary.
Bottom Line: Emily’s List candidates have lost every race this decade and their endorsement of Beasley will only harm her chances of winning in November.

Livy Polen published NCGOP Chairman Whatley Sends Letter to Board of Elections Opposing Proposed Rule Change in Press Releases 2021-05-06 11:30:48 -0400
May 6, 2021
For Immediate Release
Raleigh, NC - Today, NCGOP Chairman Michael Whatley sent a letter on behalf of Republican County Chairs to the North Carolina Board of Elections opposing their proposed rule that would limit the number of poll observers. This public letter comes just before the State Board's public hearing about their proposed rule changes this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. To register to watch the hearing online, click here.The current statute allows two precinct-specific observers to serve at one time in shifts of at least four hours before being relieved by two different precinct-specific observers. The proposed rule would limit the number of volunteer precinct-specific observers to two for the entire day, which prompted Republicans in the General Assembly to immediately respond with legislation that allows for greater flexibility in the rotation of poll observers throughout the day.
“The State Board of Elections’ proposed rule would place a substantial burden on the participation of volunteer observers in the election process, which, as we have seen around the country, is key to public confidence in the results of an election,” said NCGOP Chairman Michael Whatley. “Election rules should make the voting process open and transparent, but this proposed rule encourages the exact opposite.”
