The Durham County Board of Elections unanimously voted to dismiss Sheriff Clarence Birkhead's complaint against election challenger Maria Jocys.
Birkhead, in broad terms, contested that because some of the signatures required to get Jocys on the ballot could not be validated, the verified onces should also be disallowed.
Jocys' lawyer, Michael Crowell, said the sheriff’s team hadn’t “provided anything that we didn’t already know about the rejections of the signatures and the number of valid signatures.” The Durham Board of Elections agreed.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Republicans could intervene in a legal challenge to a law requiring voter ids at polls.
The North Carolina NAACP sued to prevent the law’s implementation. Attorney General Josh Stein, a Democrat, has been tasked with defending the law. A law that Stein does not agree with.
"North Carolinians deserve to have their laws vigorously defended in court," Republican Senate leader Phil Berger said in a statement, adding that he felt opposition to voter ID from Stein and Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper "has resulted in them intentionally sandbagging the defense of a law the majority of North Carolinians support."

A new dress code could soon be approved for Durham Public School students. Some leaders are pushing for a more inclusive policy to further create what they call a 'more welcoming' learning environment.
The dress code is modeled after the one used in Portland, Oregon.
Their idea is to make it more inclusive which would allow bra straps and mid drifts to be visible as well as underwear waistbands and hoodies.
The board will vote on the new code on Thursday at their meeting.

ShotSpotter, a technology that detects gunshots and can direct police to the location they occurred, is being evaluated in Durham.
Supporters say this technology could speed up police response times to incident locations and potentially save lives.
Durham Police Chief Patrice Andrews says, “We are at a point where we have to try something”.
This year, so far, 96 people have been shot in Durham and 17 of those people have died.

Durham County has the highest spread of coronavirus in the state, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Interesting, considering we often hear in the media that Republican-leaning areas are where the Coronavirus spread is most significant.

Chris Snyder published NCGOP Statement on Redistricting Trial Decision in News 2022-01-12 11:15:46 -0500
The N.C. Republican Party applauds the Superior Court for upholding the legislature's constitutional role in redistricting and rejecting the attempts of Democrat activists to leverage the judiciary for political purposes. We’re happy this court affirmed the maps in question were drawn legally by the legislature as according to the Constitution.
This lawsuit was never anything more than a 'Sue til Blue' attempt by activists on the Left to gain through the courts what they cannot win at the ballot box. The plaintiffs in this case, who are all partisan Democrat activists, proved this when they asked the court to throw out the legislature's enacted maps as 'partisan gerrymanders' only to suggest replacing them with maps drawn in secret by their own lawyers which were incredibly gerrymandered in favor of Democrats.
“The NCGOP is pleased to see that the Superior Court panel has affirmed the maps drawn by the General Assembly following a fair and transparent redistricting process,” stated NCGOP Chairman Michael Whatley in response to the ruling. “The Panel correctly rejected Democrats’ wildly hypocritical scheme to sue their way into office with secret, gerrymandered maps and we hope the N.C. Supreme Court will uphold this decision.”While the NCGOP fully expects the activists to appeal this decision to the N.C. Supreme Court, we call on those justices to uphold the lower court's ruling which reinforces the constitutionally appropriate and authoritative role of the state legislature in redistricting matters. The NCGOP also calls on those justices with clear conflicts of interest to recuse themselves from this case.
Congressman Dan Bishop, who sued the N.C. Supreme Court for transparency following their secret decision to delay primary elections and candidate filing, reiterated the importance of a non-political judiciary in upholding the separation of powers as well as the necessity of clear and stable electoral schedules for North Carolina voters.
"The people of North Carolina deserve stability and predictability in their elections and a redistricting process conducted by the branch of government to which the Constitution delegates the power and responsibility — the legislative branch," said Congressman Bishop. "I call on the N.C. Supreme Court to reject this activist ploy to abuse the judiciary for narrow partisan advantage and to issue an order upholding the trial court’s decision. And this time, I hope they’ll sign their names."

Chris Snyder published Precinct Chair Expectations and Goals in Our Precinct Leaders 2021-10-13 11:01:52 -0400
Precinct Chair Expectations and Goals
Read MoreThe role of the Precinct Chair, Vice-Chair and/or Secretary is critical to the success of the Durham GOP. In an effort to better define these roles and responsibilities, we have created this guide. The success of this role will be the barometer of the overall health, influence, and engagement of the Republican Party in Durham County.
Simplified Duties
- Attendance at our monthly meetings. All goals and action plans start at our Leadership meetings. Please note, the Plan of Organization states that missing three (3) meetings in a calendar year will lead to removal from the Precinct leadership role.
- Precinct Activity. A Precinct leader is a steward over the local Republicans in their neighborhood. Today, it is easier than ever to stay in touch with your precinct members. Using social media, letters, emails, texts, and calling folks are great ways to engage. Precinct leaders are asked to communicate with their neighbors at least once per year through any preferred form of communication. Lastly, Precinct leaders should be ever-increasing an accurate contact list, including email and telephone numbers of the Republicans in their area.
- Voter turnout. A Precinct leader’s success is evaluated based upon their achievement of voter turnout. In order to achieve this measure, Precinct leaders should be contacting their neighbors with the candidate and GOP slate information in advance of elections. Contacts can be made through mailers, social media, text blasts, emails, or door knocking. GOP members should be informed when polls open and/or any changes to polling locations. Finally, the Precinct leader is responsible for manning or having their polling location manned with a Poll Greeter. A Poll Greeter welcomes voters to the polls and ensures they have all the information needed to vote for Republicans.
The Durham GOP believes that our leaders who are doing these activities on a regular basis are heroes and should be recognized and rewarded. Being a Precinct Chair is a position that people should aspire to, just as it is for a person running for public office.
Durham has over 24,000 registered Republicans. If Precinct leadership is able to increase voter turnout and achieve getting voters to the polls, we can make a difference.
This is why you are so important!

Chris Snyder published Governor Cooper vetos anti-critical race theory bill in News 2021-09-15 15:47:28 -0400
Governor Cooper vetoed anti-critical race theory House Bill 324 on September 10th. House Bill 324, "Ensuring Dignity and Nondiscrimination/Schools", would have specified what views schools can promote and also required that schools list curriculum and guest speakers discussing gender or race.
Why Governor Cooper would think preventing school units from promoting ideas like:
-
One race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex.
-
An individual, solely by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist,
sexist, or oppressive.
should have many voters questioning his position.
With the veto, schools would continue to be allowed to teach items such as Critical Race Theory.
