Lit Drop with FLIP NC
About our lit drop program
Get your steps in without knocking doors – just leave lit at voters’ doors whenever it’s convenient for you!
You can leave lit (our highly effective flyer about the extreme right-wing takeover of our NC courts and the awesome Democratic candidates running for statewide judicial races this year) at targeted left-leaning voters’ doors. Just leaving lit at doors, even if we don’t talk with anyone, helps increase turnout and down-ballot voting among left-leaning voters.
Let’s build the future we want for our state and our country!
How to Join
If you’re in the Triangle area, there are two ways to join FLIP NC’s data-driven, effective voter outreach efforts in person: Come out to a FLIP NC lit drop party OR come to a Bull City Indivisible biweekly meeting. Grab some lit and a turf at the end of any Bull City Indivisible meeting and then hit the streets – whenever it works for you!
Not in the Triangle area? Join one of our partners for FLIP NC-supported lit drop or canvassing in Charlotte, Guilford County (Greensboro area), Forsyth County (Winston-Salem area), Gaston County, or Southeastern NC (Wilmington/Burgaw area).
Do you have a group that wants to partner with us? Reach out here – we’re happy to support your voter outreach efforts.
Here’s how it works
Download the MiniVAN app for iPhone/iPad or Android and create an Action ID.
Enter your list number to enter into the MiniVAN app. This will give you a map and voter list of which doors to hit based on targeted voter data.
Leave the lit at the doors on your list. You can roll it up and slide it through the door handle or leave it under the mat. Just don’t leave it in the mailbox – that’s not legal!
Be sure to mark the doors off in the app as you go so we know which voters have received lit and which haven’t.
That’s it!
Why it matters
In a midterm, turnout is typically more than 20 points lower than in a presidential election, and that means we have a huge opportunity to win by turning out left-leaning presidential-year voters who typically sit out the midterms. But we can’t just turn them out. We have now had two recent NC Supreme Court races that were decided by less than 1,000 votes out of more than 5 million ballots cast – and about 150,000 voters who came out to cast ballots skipped the court races. So it’s critical that we let voters know about these races and why they matter. In 2024, we were able to cut ballot dropoff in half in the blue precincts we fully saturated.
