About this event
Join us to "knock doors" of likely Democratic voters whose ballots were rejected. We'll be there to give them the information they need to get their votes counted!

These folks are committed to making their voices heard in this election, so these conversations are about proving guidance and encouragement to motivated voters.

This activity is best for experienced canvassers who are familiar with MiniVAN and have several hours to devote to this effort over the next few days. Volunteers must have transportation.

Cure Chase Canvass Schedule

1) Attend a virtual canvass launch by Zoom.
2) Canvass your turf (multiple passes may be required.)
3) Check in with your volunteer coordinator.

You'll only need to attend the training one time.

He’s always consistent."[8] Griffin believed that North Carolina voters "want judges who interpret the law and aren’t activists, who don’t go up there with any agenda... snip...

*Originalism is a legal principle that relies on historical review of the intent of a law or constitutional provision at the time of passage. Originalists argue that the U.S. Constitution has a static meaning that can be determined through study. Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was known for his views of originalism. This viewpoint is opposed by non-originalists, who argue for a living constitution and evolving legal interpretations.
