“You can’t change the rules for a game that’s over.”

Of course the Republicans think they’re entitled to win every election. From January 6th to the NC Supreme Court election in 2024, whether by violence and lies or egregious gerrymandering or trying to change the rules after the game is over, the Republicans know no bounds to try to rig and election they lost fair and square.

U.S. District Judge Myers ordered the State Board of Elections to certify results that after two recounts showed Riggs (D) the winner — by just 734 votes — over Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin.

No doubt the Republicans will continue to delay by appealing.

Democracy? We don’t need no stinking’ democracy!

frankly, some media played a role in rescuing NC voters from themselves, and we should see this as an exception.

had they not foolishly voted gop in local races, there would have been no path to revoking power and legitimacy from state-level winners on the dem side.

since there are no repercussions for these actions from the gop (e.g., see how many years they have been repeatedly over-turned for gerrymandering), expect even more of the same :
