The Election Overtime Project, an effort to prepare journalists to cover the outcome of the 2024 election, is hosting its third swing-state briefing on Oct. 18, this time focused on North Carolina.

The series is a part of an effort to help reporters, TV anchors and others prepare America to understand and not fear close elections. Election Overtime is an initiative of the Election Reformers Network and developed in partnership with the Bridge Alliance, which publishes The Fulcrum.


During the North Carolina briefing (11 a.m.-noon Eastern), a new set of complementary tools designed to support reporting on contested elections will be unveiled by the Election Reformers Network, the North Carolina Network for Fair, Safe & Secure Elections and other election law experts. The Election Overtime Project will provide journalists covering the 2024 general election with media briefings by election specialists; guides for reporting on election transparency, verification processes and judicial procedures; and an extensive speaker bureau.

Speakers include:

  • James Martin, former North Carolina governor.
  • Bob Orr, former North Carolina Supreme Court justice.
  • David Price, former House member from North Carolina.
  • Damon Circosta, former chair of the North Carolina State Election Board.
  • Jennifer Roberts, former mayor of Charlotte.
