Breaking News.........9:38am eastern - from the desk of David Robinson, Chairman of The Wake County Republican Party - The calls made to our Representatives worked!! The bill in the North Carolina House, titled the “Presidential Electors by District” (S353),was pulled from the House floor yesterday and sent back to committee. If the Democrat leadership had had its way, North Carolina would no longer have awarded its 15 electoral votes in presidential elections to the winner of the statewide popular vote. Instead, each congressional district would award one electoral vote based on the vote in the presidential election within that congressional district. The remaining two electoral votes would then be awarded to the statewide popular vote winner. This would have forever weakened North Carolina’s voice in presidential elections. Your calls made a difference. Many thanks. We, of course, still have much work to do but I wanted you to know that important victories can and do occur - with your help. Best regards. DSR David S. Robinson, Chairman, Wake GOP email: chairman@wakegop.org
