Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

We look at how Hurricane Helene is impacting election preparation in Republican-leaning hard-hit areas of the battleground state of North Carolina, where some roads are impassable and mail service is suspended. Early voting begins in two weeks. “Election officials and ultimately the North Carolina Legislature will have to …make sure that somehow people can vote,” says Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause North Carolina, who will address lawmakers next week on possible adjustments.
