NC Voter Registration Update
I previously reported on voter registration activities in NC on September 4th. Every single weekend, I see voter registrations on corners and at grocery stores in my area identical to this one.
At the time of my earlier post on 9/2, the number of registered voters listed on the NC BOE site was: 6,296,961.
As of this post on 9/29 (total date is on the site says 9/29 as well), the number of registered voters is: 6,471,031.
A net gain of 174,070. Right?
I took some screen shots for the last article of the BOE banner and did the same this time for comparison: Screen shot of 9/2 and screen shot of 9/29.
Breakdown according to the 9/2 and 9/29 headers on the BOE Site (also mirrored in the image below):
Democrat on 9/2 – 2,727,202
Democrat on 9/29 – 2,785,054
Gain: 57, 852
Republican on 9/2 – 1,990,941
Republican on 9/29 -2,011,846
Gain: 20,905
Libertarian on 9/2 – 15,651
Libertarian on 9/29 – 16,805
Gain: 1,154
Unaffiliated (independent) 9/2 – 1,618,567
Unaffiliated (independent) 9/29 – 1,657,326
Gain: 38,759
I added up all the gains by registration affiliation as is listed on the BOE site and 118,670 is the total net gain I came up with. It doesn’t match the overall totals gain listed on the BOE site. I went back and checked the math. The 9/2 banner total registrations number was off. The total should have added up to 6,352,361. It’s short by 55,400.
There is no way of knowing if the new total being run on 9/29 incorporates that 55,400 or if it is accurate now. Perhaps this is a math or data entry oversight by those running the BOE site that is the cause for the gap on 9/2. In the meantime I am contacting the BOE for clarification, because their downloadable reports give some different numbers as well. The BOE has a revised registered voter report by precinct as of September 12. This would replace the one I linked to near the bottom of my prior post.
Obviously, depending on what answers I get back from the NC BOE on the banner discrepancy, the following is subject to change:
CHART
I compared the latest hard copy report by precinct and the site banner numbers in the last two rows above. The report was on 9/12 and the banner from 9/29 — which means that, if the 9/29 numbers are accurate, nearly 54,000 people were registered to vote in NC inside of 17 days. Draw what conclusions you will from these numbers. Continue reading

Disclaimer/Preface:
I receive regular emails from my financial group. I didn’t see a disclaimer on reproducing or passing the information they send me along, however I may have to remove this post should a request of such nature materialize. I felt it interesting and important to share with my readers to get a perspective on what the financial outfits are thinking about the election and its possible outcomes.

THE FRIDAY FOCUS
Free Speech In Obama’s America Edition
Conor Friedersdorf has a column up at the Atlantic which partly inspired this post. In it, he makes the case for why he is refusing to vote for Barack Obama. It’s a well laid out article, but the thrust of it is what spurred me to open this edition of the Friday Focus with it. That thrust being the media, liberals and Democrats all ignoring the activities they do not like about this President. An excerpt:
How can you vilify Romney as a heartless plutocrat unfit for the presidency, and then enthusiastically recommend a guy who held Bradley Manning in solitary and killed a 16-year-old American kid? If you’re a utilitarian who plans to vote for Obama, better to mournfully acknowledge that you regard him as the lesser of two evils, with all that phrase denotes.
But I don’t see many Obama supporters feeling as reluctant as the circumstances warrant.
The whole liberal conceit that Obama is a good, enlightened man, while his opponent is a malign, hard-hearted cretin, depends on constructing a reality where the lives of non-Americans — along with the lives of some American Muslims and whistleblowers — just aren’t valued. Alternatively, the less savory parts of Obama’s tenure can just be repeatedly disappeared from the narrative of his first term, as so many left-leaning journalists, uncomfortable confronting the depths of the man’s transgressions, have done over and over again.
Please do read the whole thing.
Now, how does this tie in to the title of this edition ‘Free Speech in Obama’s America’? Let’s start with Obama’s recent speech at the U.N., which when you boil it down is summed up in one line:
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” – Barack Obama, U.N. Address September 2012 Continue reading

NCAE and SEIU in NC
At Breitbart this headline caught my eye:
NC School District Pushes Union Propaganda in Math Classes
Quick summary of the article — Eighth graders using the virtual classroom were treated to math lessons using Unions as examples:
Screenshot via the Breitbart Article
Color me shocked. Not.
Unionization of state employees is prohibited in NC. That hasn’t stopped the unions from trying. I’ve written before that the SEIU has already infiltrated the SEANC and has been aided by Governor Perdue on quite a few occasions. All one has to do is pay attention to the top banner of the SEANC website.
