Who funds this Indivisible group in NC? Complaint says it failed to disclose donors

RALEIGH -- An organization aiming to help Democrats gain influence in North Carolina government faces allegations that it has violated campaign laws.

A complaint filed with the state Board of Elections on Tuesday alleges that Indivisible - Flip NC has been raising money and improperly coordinating efforts with the state Democratic Party without filing paperwork with the elections board and disclosing its donors. The complaint was filed by Dallas Woodhouse, executive director of the North Carolina Republican Party.

A slew of groups supporting Democrats, many using the Indivisible name, have sprung up since the 2016 presidential election.

Flip NC’s website says its goal is to end the Republican supermajority in the General Assembly, where Republicans have so many members that they can override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper if he vetoes their legislation. If Democrats pick up either four House seats or six Senate seats in the November election, they’ll break the supermajority. Flip NC has published analysis of North Carolina’s election precincts and the most “flippable” districts in the House and Senate.
