In NC, Gov. Cooper does
 |
|
Welcome to another edition of FT Now! This week, we’re reminded once again just how far left North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is. Do you want violent criminals roaming YOUR streets? Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is concerned that too many Americans are neglecting their civic education. Finally, a huge mail-in ballot error was caught in Brooklyn this week. Unfortunately, it’s not the only case we’ve seen lately - but fingers crossed it’s one of the last. Read below for more!

| Cooper Supports Sanctuary Cities, Endangers Safety of North Carolinians |
| What Happened: |
| If it wasn’t already clear that North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is part of the radical left, his support of sanctuary city policies is definitely exhibit A. That’s right: As governor, Cooper has vetoed legislation that would have required sheriffs to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Because of Cooper’s actions, hundreds of criminal illegal immigrants have been released from jail - including violent criminals, domestic abusers, and rapists. The people of North Carolina deserve better. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Voters will have to decide in November if they can trust Roy Cooper to keep them safe. Right now, all signs point to no. |

| Bring Civics Back to the Classroom |
| What Happened: |
| Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has a new op-ed explaining why it’s so important for Americans to re-engage in civics - and why it starts with the family and in the classroom. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| As Gov. Ducey points out, "our democracy depends on an engaged and informed citizenry." It doesn’t help when two-thirds of young adults don’t understand the Holocaust, or that only one in four Americans can name all three branches of government. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Ducey is making big changes in Arizona to ensure students are prepared for the demands of citizenship. Let’s hope other states follow suit! |

| 100,000 Voters in Brooklyn Receive Erroneous Ballots
|
| What Happened: |
| The New York City Board of Elections admitted this week that it sent almost 100,000 ballots to voters that contained return envelopes with the wrong name, address, and voter ID on them. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Americans are expected to vote by mail more than ever this year. But that’s easier said than done, apparently. Similar errors have occurred already in Michigan and Virginia. Mistakes like this jeopardize the integrity of any election - big or small. |
| What Happens Next: |
| Hopefully future mistakes are caught and corrected early. |
