North Carolina Democrats said they’re prepared for President Donald Trump’s promised crackdown on voting by mail — in part because they’ve been fighting against Republican efforts for years.

Anderson Clayton, chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, told NOTUS that her party will do “everything to out-organize Republican voter suppression.”

The North Carolina Democratic Party, Clayton added, already boasts its largest staff in history during an odd year and has invested the most it ever has in field programs. The party has also hit the ground running with aggressive get-out-the-vote efforts that include phone banking campaigns and door-knocking campaigns where volunteers help voters ensure they are registered to vote.
