Who says there’s Voter Fraud in Durham?
This past Tuesday, the Durham Republican Party Executive Committee convened for our monthly meeting. As this was the first meeting since the Primary, we reviewed the election results and discussed what we need to do to improve. The topic that drew the most attention was the anomalies in the voting process witnessed by our Republican poll workers. Continue reading

Commissioners scrap resolution on Amendment One
By Ray Gronberg
DURHAM – Following a complaint from a Durham County Republican Party activist, County Commissioners abandoned plans to adopt a symbolic resolution against the state’s proposed “defense of marriage” constitutional amendment.
The decision came late Friday, after County Attorney Lowell Siler sided with GOP activist Richard Ford. Continue reading
To help you sort through the candidates in this primary election season, Civitas
has posted the results of an extensive candidate questionnaire.
The NC Family Policy Council also offers a voter guide.
With Durham County sliced into so many voting districts this year, rather than posting scores of different sample ballots, we will simply direct you how to generate your own. Go to the NC Board of Elections, fill out the form with your first and last name, your county, and if your name is John Smith, your birthday. Then submit this information. You will then be taken to a page with your voting information. Scroll down the page to find (in small type) My Sample Ballot. The link will download a pdf with your sample ballot.

Disinformation and What Can You Do?
Last week, I received an email from a lady who was clearly confused on the Marriage Amendment. She was either simply misinformed or a victim of the misinformation tactics by the left. The very next day, I received an email from another Durham resident who was asking for help understanding the Marriage Amendment. I’ll tell you about these emails because I want you to be aware of the disinformation that’s out there and I hope you will emulate the lady who wrote the second email.
First, let’s discuss the misinformation.
We are hearing reports that the NAACP is going around to Black Churches throughout the state telling people that a vote FOR the Marriage Amendment is a vote FOR gay marriage. This is simply not true.
