I frequently volunteer with Democracy NC. The great staff throughout the state are fierce defenders of the right to vote, clean and open elections. It's non-partisan, and encourages the development of grassroots citizens groups. One (among many) great endeavor was to train volunteer poll monitors in the last election, to record any issues citizens had with voting. This information, added to that gained through a help line they operate, was used in the case now in the courts against the NC Legislature's Voter ID law. They produce some of the best information about voting, and freely distribute this literature to any other groups for use.
