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.
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.
Worse, I believe you have a comprehension problem.
Multiple great wins for their citizens, with universal healthcare, a great aerospace lineage, reliable and low cost energy to help their industries grow, low to no cost higher education. A robust, healthy farm industry, high regard for planetary health among citizens, and a very reasonable work-life balance.
All they had to do was demand it. You’re too chickenshit to even dream about it. Pathetic.
