John, our state is extreme Republicans’ testing ground for anti-voter, anti-democratic tactics designed to keep the GOP in power. Some of the NC GOP’s gerrymandered maps have been so egregious that even the U.S. Supreme Court struck them down. The current maps have shut Democrats out of power in both Congress and in Raleigh.

And last year, Republicans tried to steal an election that they lost.

In November 2024, North Carolina held a state Supreme Court election. It was competitive, and the margin of victory was narrow, but the Democratic candidate won.

Instead of accepting Allison Riggs’ election victory, Republicans tried to throw out tens of thousands of legal ballots — mostly from areas they knew leaned Democratic — in a bid to change the result. They would rather deny voters their voice than admit defeat.

Here’s the good news: It took months of work and a difficult legal battle, but Justice Riggs’ electoral victory was eventually confirmed earlier this year.

So, why does that case matter now?

Republicans may have lost this one, but they wrote the playbook for how to overturn elections they lose here in North Carolina — and we HAVE to be prepared to fight back if they try to tamper with elections to come.

John, this is set to be the most competitive U.S. Senate election of 2026, and the outcome could determine control of the Senate. Roy has won tight races before, but this could be unlike anything we’ve faced so far. And if the outcome is close, the GOP may try to toss out North Carolinians’ ballots again in a bid to hang onto their Senate majority.

Our best hope at preventing this electoral dirty-dealing is to pull far ahead in the vote count on Election Day — but current polling shows this race is a statistical TIE, and Republicans are planning to spend millions of dollars against us.

We have to be ready for a long, hard fight. That’s where you come in. Can we count on your grassroots support today? Click here to power our campaign to victory >>> [[link removed]]

Let’s do this,

Team Cooper



Democrat Roy Cooper is running for U.S. Senate to help take back the Majority for Democrats. North Carolina is Democrats’ best chance to flip a seat from red to blue — the path to stopping Republicans in Washington starts here.

National Republicans will target North Carolina as a key battleground and invest heavily in defeating us.

Cooper is a former state legislator, Attorney General, and most recently Governor of North Carolina. North Carolina will be the most competitive Senate election of 2026, and Cooper enters the race as the most formidable candidate of either party.

Cooper’s signature achievements include helping to expand Medicaid and helping make NC the top state for business by creating thousands of jobs and growing the clean energy economy.
