Crush the Midterms and NC GoVote
If your friends are wondering what they can do to help the Democrats in the election this year, there's a new website that can help.
Crush The Midterms is a simple tool that asks you a few questions (whether or not you're registered, what kinds of issues interest you, your zip code) and crafts a plan of action and a personal list of important dates -- like the voting registration deadline in your area.
You can transfer that list directly to an electronic calendar. (The list doesn't mention 'check your registration right before the deadline and make sure it's ok,' but that should absolutely be on everyone's to-do list!)
....
North Carolina is one of the worst states for voter suppression tactics that target registered voters. This year, there's an app available that will monitor your registration for any changes. You can find out how it works here at NC GoVote.
I'm hoping more apps like it appear for other states!
