The #NCGOP gets to pick the #votes that they want:

Just a delay. Republicans will get their vote to bolster white supremacy.
#NCGOP
What's going on here:
The #NCGOP candidate has not identified a single ineligible vote among the 60,000 he is challenging. He is, in effect, alleging a crime but offers no evidence of that crime,
The NCGOP hopes it can organize responses by enough #MAGA voters among the 60,000 that will be told to prove their identity to give the MAGA candidate a win.

@TheDailyEdge No one here in North Carolina is surprised the #NCGOP is doing this. The party that put Mark Robinson and a QAnon lunatic on the ballot is well practiced at deliberately attacking democracy.
#ncgop pulling the same garbage they always do. A bill to aid Hurricane Helene efforts in Western NC is mostly about trying to strip power from the new Democrat governor and attorney general. These people are anything but serious legislators. They're actively working to make this state worse with every bill they pass and they ONLY work ever in their own interests.
To be clear, it’s obviously him, and his denials are ludicrous. That said, any request to “prove you didn’t do something 10 or 12 years ago” is equally stupid, no matter the activity at issue. In conclusion, #NCGOP and the #GOP at large are a bunch of hypocritical fascist degenerates who all deserve each other — and to lose.
Am I civil disobediencing yet? I don't know if the #NCGOP #StupidLaw change has gone into effect yet... I want to make sure I look good for my first-ever proterrorest.

Summary: Far-right, bombastic, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic lunatic versus normal, centrist, well-educated lawyer with years of relevant experience.

Wait, the #NCGOP did something horrible & against the public interest... who would think it? Sadly, this is such a wonderful state filled with people who vote against their own self interests by electing these asshats who do nothing but ruin the state 
Cry "security concerns!" and let slip the face-eating leopards of culture war:
2024-05-15 NC Senate votes to ban people from wearing masks in public for health reasons
I'm prepared to openly be gay and do crimes if this passes.
This still has to go through the state House -- and it's not clear if they have enough votes to override Governor Cooper's veto (which I would expect to happen; the Dems are all against this -- because unlike the GOP they sometimes understand how reality works).
Also, may I reiterate once again to our fellow citizens in the GOP: You fuckers. You absolute fuckers. Please, do quit your day job. Find something useful to do with your lives -- if you're even capable of that anymore.

Oh, just to be clear for anyone who didn't already know: I grew up in #DurhamNC in the 1970s, came back in ~2002 and have lived here ever since, and have no plans for leaving.
(I'm also transbian, atheistic, non-conformist, anti-authoritarian AF, autistic, and Thoroughly Disobedient. I lie awake at night being quite sure there is no Dog.)
I will not be allowing the fash to have this place. They're going to have to, you know, do more than bluster at me with FreedomGuns™ or whatever. I don't take kindly to intimidation or blithering daftitude.
NC legislature to keep itself exempt from public records laws, top Senators indicate
A new state law will allow North Carolina state legislators to sell their emails and texts, then destroy any evidence, said Democratic Sen. Graig Meyer. He unsuccessfully pushed for its repeal.
These people make laws for North Carolina ...

N.C. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, now running for governor, failed to file federal income taxes for 5 years, bankruptcy documents show
Despite relying on protection from bankruptcy courts during his own financial troubles, Robinson's political rise has coincided with his railing against the social safety net while calling on people to take responsibility for their financial situation.

N.C. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson was once just another misogynistic, homophobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic troll and gun nut "with zero experience in public service or politics."
Online, he attacked women, especially Black women, and called for a total abortion ban, despite being Black and having paid for an abortion himself.
As Robinson seeks election to the Governor's mansion, there are signs that his extreme views may finally catch up to him.
