NC Democratic Party sues over GOP efforts to toss 60,000 votes. Race for Supreme Court seat hangs in balance

1. Does the NC people even know that the GOP wants to make sure their votes dont count. This should be all over their news stations. I have a feeling its not.

2. All the democrats have for the next 4 years is fake cases and social media accounts. Oh and Covfefe

3. Oh look, voter suppression led by republicans. If the way they win is to cheat…

4. The people of North Carolina voted entirely at the state level for Democrats. They voted for governor, for this state Supreme Court seat, and Dems won the popular vote for both chambers of the state legislature. Thanks to gerrymandering, Republicans maintained an unchanged supermajority in the state Senate, and only lost their supermajority in the state’s lower chamber by 2 seats (getting ready for them to find 2 to bribe into siding with them again).

   Throwing out these votes would be another miscarriage of justice. And it would put overturning the state level gerrymandering even farther out of reach.

5. JFK –

   “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

6. I believe there are questionable percentages ballots of people voting Trump for president, but splitting the ticket to vote a Dem for SecState. Seems suspicious.

7. Republicans know the exact number of votes they need to throw away in their efforts to win(cheat)

8. More republican cheating.

9. So…this would have an effect on the presidential race, right? Surely these people voted in races beyond just the SC justice one.

10. 60,000 votes tossed out is absurd

11. Oh look… conservatives being anti democracy AGAIN.

12. “A recount that finished this week reaffirmed initial election results that showed the Democratic incumbent, Justice Allison Riggs, got the most votes. But the challenges claiming that elections officials improperly counted tens of thousands of ballots are a key part of the GOP’s strategy to win the key race for a seat on the seven-member North Carolina Supreme Court.”

    The Republican Party is in a constant state of trying to fuck over democracy.

13. We don’t fight like the Republicans do that’s why they control everything

14. This is a song on repeat.

15. Asking to toss that many votes should trigger an investigation. That’s over 1% of total votes cast.

16. The right has used every possible trick, cheat and manipulation to take over permanently. The rest of us win a battle now and then, but let’s face it, we’ve lost the war.

17. Just abother reason to do forensic recounts/audits. This isn’t the only case of fights to exclude the people…
