Summary
The North Carolina Supreme Court, in a 5-1 Republican-led decision, blocked certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs as the winner of a state Supreme Court race.
Riggs leads Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes after recounts, but Griffin claims 60,000 ballots were illegally cast and seeks to have them invalidated.
The court will now hear Griffin’s challenge, with briefs due by January 24.
Democrats criticized the move as partisan, while the lone Democratic justice dissented, arguing there is no basis to delay certification or disrupt the election process.
This is what Trumps blabbing about war with Greenland is covering up.
Trump: “oh shit, they’re on to me!.. I’M GOING TO INVADE THE ANTARCTIC AND SOUTH GEORGIA ISLAND TOO!!!”
Sounds like subverting the will of the people. Arm yourselves, friends.
Women, blacks, LGBT folks and other minorities already got the memo. Largest gun buying demographic for years. Suburban white boys need to sign on.
“But they might shoot me!”
They’re going to anyway.
Let’s ask the French how that ends.
I mean it ended with France becoming a democracy so… Yeah. A lot of nonsense happened, but modern France exists as a result of the French revolution.
Yeah after going back and forth for 80 years. Many of which were incredibly bloody.
I’ll take that over eating boot.
Oh good, thank you for your sacrifice.
Wait? You want me to live in a civil war hellhole too? Fuck no, fuck you. There are peaceful ways to do this.
Err… France appears to be doing fine. Are you ok dummy? Do you know how to read?
After 80 years of switching back and forth between Republics and Monarchies. With mob violence, civil wars, and brutal crackdowns. Which mostly killed commoners, not nobles. It wasn’t until 1870 that they stabilized as a Republic, because they lost a war to the Germans.
We could do that or we could follow the example of the many countries who defended their rights or claimed them by filling the streets with people.
I’m not the one with a reading comprehension problem.
Prepare to see a repeat of this in 2028, but federally
Nah this won’t happen. Because there will likely not be an election. Or there will be an “election” with Trump winning 100% of the vote.
Looks like we need a Supreme-Supreme Court to solve this issue.
Did you know that in France they call a Supreme Supreme Court “le guillotine?”
We are much more civilized than that
Perfection…
Yeeting the rich sounds fun. Just have to be careful where you do it, like the punkin chukin competitions. You know, to prevent any damage to anything important.
Make it a sport, whomever (or maybe top 5) yeets their rich person the furthest wins 10% of their net worth, the rest is used for social programs.
What and then we load that guy straight into the trebuchet because he would then probably be a billionaire?
Legs first you say?
To shreds, you say?
The one with sour cream, pico, and Doritos Locos Fiesta Strips
Can I get one with extra fries?
It already has sour cream. Sheesh the greed of some people.
An avocado would kill you? Maybe some cheeze?
An avocado and some cheese wouldn’t kill me but it would give me diarrhea so bad that I might pray for death.
What if they block that with a supreme supreme court supreme?
Then we’ll have a [Supreme³ * SupremeSupreme]-Supreme Court.
How do you like them Supreme?
Edit: Wait wtf, that doesn’t even sounds like a word anymore.
Graham’s Supreme Court
Supreme↑↑↑↑Supreme
That man’s picture is off putting
Default preset in a create a character energy
His head narrows toward the top, with his eyes appearing too small and too close together, and the top of his head seeming too small proportionally. Very cartoonish.
It’s exactly how a lizard person would design their skin suit.
Cut my life into pieces, this is THE Supreme Court
Adjudication, no briefing
Don’t give a fuck about this proceeding
🎸
The Supreme Court will be compromised for life, legislative is next but is already essentially gamed on a state by state level and a “nation undivided” indoctrination, and the executive just needs to play its part to cement the rich asshole oligarchy state. The only way to fix it is a skewed “democracy” every few years where certain votes count more than others and the population is stupid and saturated by propaganda.
Why don’t Republicans look like real people? Is there some kind of shop they’re made in?
Every single time I see the professional headshots these people use I wonder this exact thing. To ground things in reality for a moment, is there a cultural component to the upper class far right that makes them more likely to undergo multiple cosmetic surgeries?
These aren’t normal heads on these people.
So … do Americans record who voted what in their elections? Its all well and good to say 60,000 votes were invalid … but how does he know what they voted? It could be pretty easy to argue that poorly recorded voter details would all be for right wing ‘small government’ nut jobs that would have voted Republican. Immigrants also tend to be conservative.
Given he’s unlikely to be happy that the 60,000 come off his quota, or even with a 50/50 split to cover the fact that no-one knows where they could have come from, does the state have to revote?
I feel like a good campaign ad for Riggs would include “Griffin is a sore loser and is now wasting $X Million and your valuable time going back to revote, he clearly thinks you and your tax dollars are worthless.”
It’s simple really, facts don’t matter to these people, only power.
They don’t have the identity, if I remember right these are mail in ballots with a post date missing or some such. They have the physical ballots they can count, or not.
Nah the article says the voter registrations are missing details like drivers licence and social security numbers. But yeah, the 60k votes could be for anyone. You can only assume he sees a revote as a chance to take another spin at the wheel and maybe this time it will land on red.
Burn it down, in Minecraft.
But hey, Democrats relinquished power without resistance on January 6th and had a snowball fight, so they are The Real Winners!
It got this bad when things were better, and the democrats of today still seem to be the democrats of two decades ago.
