What is going on with the NC supreme court race
https://www.carolinajournal.com/gri...restraining-order-against-nc-elections-board/ | https://archive.ph/WDzXB

  • North Carolina Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin and the state Republican Party are seeking a temporary restraining order against the State Board of Elections.
  • Griffin and the NCGOP argue that the elections board has failed to turn over records that would help Griffin decide whether to file election protests.
  • As of 3 p.m. Monday, Griffin trailed Democrat Allison Riggs by 70 votes in the race for an eight-year state Supreme Court term. Griffin faces a Tuesday deadline to seek a recount.
North Carolina Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin and the state Republican Party are seeking a temporary restraining order against the State Board of Elections. Griffin and the NCGOP argue in a lawsuit that elections officials have failed to turn over public records Griffin has requested as he considers whether to file protests and seek a recount in his election against Democrat Allison Riggs.

An elections board spokesman responded to Carolina Journal that the lawsuit was “thoroughly unnecessary.”

Unofficial vote totals showed Griffin leading the appointed incumbent Riggs by more than 10,000 votes on Nov. 6, the morning after Election Day. As county election boards counted provisional ballots and other votes not tallied on Election Day, that lead shrank. On Friday, the official day of the county vote canvass, Riggs overtook Griffin in the vote count.

Riggs led by more than 100 votes Friday evening and led by 24 votes when lawyers for Griffin and the NCGOP wrote their complaint. As of 3 p.m., Riggs led by 70 votes out of more than 5.5 million ballots cast statewide. Five of North Carolina’s 100 counties still had not finalized vote totals from the canvass process that was scheduled to be completed Friday.

Griffin faces a deadline Tuesday to seek a recount.

“As of this filing, there are four (4) significant requests relevant to the 2024 General Election that remain incomplete and outstanding from Defendant,” according to the request for a temporary restraining order. “These requests relate to: (1) lists of conflict voters (i.e. those voters who are suspected to have voted both absentee and in-person); (2) those voters who utilized the curbside Election Day voting processes to complete their ballot; (3) full and complete lists of felony convictions, including full and complete replicas of datasets and guidance provided to each county board of elections related to felony convictions and treatment of votes cast by those convicted of a felony; and (4) full and complete lists of deceased persons, including full and complete replicas of datasets and guidance provided to each county board of elections related to deceased persons and treatment of votes cast by deceased persons.”

“While Defendants have provided some data in response to submitted public records requests, review of the provided data and responses from county boards of elections suggest that the information is either incomplete or a non-identical copy of the information that was provided to the county boards of elections,” the court filing continued. “The material differences between data received from Defendants and other agencies and county boards of elections, necessitate additional productions from Defendants to enable Plaintiffs to reconcile apparent disparities.”

“Defendants’ failures have improperly impeded Plaintiffs’ efforts to meaningfully examine the 2024 General Election processes and unlawfully interfered with Plaintiffs’ ability to evaluate the potential need to file any protests in relation to the 2024 General Election,” Griffin and the state Republican Party argued.

State Board of Elections spokesman Patrick Gannon responded to the lawsuit Monday afternoon. “The lawyers for this campaign demanded over the weekend that the requested records be produced by 7 a.m. today,” Gannon wrote in an email to Carolina Journal. “The law does not require that, but they filed a lawsuit this morning anyway. The State Board provided the requested records today. In fact, the lawyers for this campaign were informed this morning that the records would be provided today, but they served the agency with the lawsuit anyway. In sum, this lawsuit is thoroughly unnecessary.”

Riggs and Griffin are vying for an eight-year tern on North Carolina’s highest court. Gov. Roy Cooper appointed Riggs to the court in September 2023. This is her first general election for a judical seat. Griffin is a member of the North Carolina Court of Appeals. He won an eight-year term on that court in the 2020 election.

Republicans hold a 5-2 majority on the state Supreme Court. A win for Riggs would maintin the court’s current membership. A win for Griffin would give Republicans a 6-1 majority.
 
They’re running out of budget. FatPacks was sent home because his Kamala check bounced and now there’s a leaf doing it for free.
He's no Fedpacks. I think he is genuinely just a normie redditor who is upset about wokeness in video games and this is the only forum where he is allowed to talk about it, so here he is. He has said in this thread a few times that he is a "Biden Supporter" (despite being Canadian), which is very ironic - talk about "leopards eating faces", eh?

With the DEI stuff, Sweet Baby etc, he has already realized one false narrative. Rooting for him to keep going and realize all the other lies he was told.
 
So just give up then dont even try to get them in? Just appoint neocons? What is it you suggest we do?
Why are you trying argue in good faith with that retard? Just look at his posts, he doesn't care.
He made up his mind long ago, he's just been fishing for things he can use to justify his worldview reality be damned.
You see it in the liberal media as well, right now there isn't much cnn and other places can use to attack trump other than the "felon" line or bring up the so-called "insurrection". They are stuck and dry, waiting around like some tweaking meth head for his next fix hoping in getting the slightest crumb of anything they can find to sensationalize about.
He made RFK eat a big mac, There's already infighting in MAGALAND!!!
 
I just had to share this from ZH about the New Your Commuter Tax. They announced a high tax, put it on hold then reduced the tax and are now telling people that the reduced tax that did not exist before is actually a savings for them!

I really find it hard to think of a more revolting demon creature than that govenor hochul in New York.


  • Step One: Announce a $3,750 tax on commuters
  • Step Two. Announce a hold on the tax until after the election.
  • Step Three: Reduce the tax to $2,250
  • Step Four: Explain how this was a new path forward
  • Step Five: Proudly brag about saving New Yorkers $1,500

Math Lesson from Governor Kathy Hochul

From day one, I have made affordability for New Yorkers a top priority. I always have and I always will fight to put more money in the pockets of everyday New Yorkers. That’s why, back in June, I stood up on behalf of hard working families and simply said no, no to a new $15 congestion toll that at that particular time was just too much.
Too many people are worried about high costs, groceries, rent, child care. These are real challenges to our families. …. As governor, it is my job to make decisions that take into account the needs of all working New Yorkers. So, I made the decision to put the congestion pricing on pause while we devise a different path forward.
I believe no New Yorker should have to pay a penny more than absolutely necessary. … You heard that correctly. It was $15 before and now it is $9. That is a 40 percent reduction. This lower toll will save daily commuters nearly $1,500 annually. And that kind of money makes a big difference for our families
 
It seems so and it is also being used incorrectly. The most cynical interpretation is that Trump is surrounding himself with Yes Men, so even in that case they were not selected for anything resembling "diversity". They are also not being picked for equal outcome purposes (equity), as the picks are still based on some kind of merit. I guess you could make the argument that the democrat party converts could qualify as "Inclusion", but that is such a stretch that it is making me question if @Northern Blockhead even understands what a DEI hire is.

Call me crazy, but I have the sneaking suspicion he only posts in here to rile up those he considers his "enemies" and probably doesn't realize that there is a healthy mix of political ideologies in here.

Or maybe that's just another far-right conspiracy.

It goes against who Trump is on a personal level, anyone that's ever worked with him has said he despises "yes men" and ass kissers. He wants to be challenged and have people push back with alternative solutions to situations. Its why Don Jr. took over for him this year with the campaign. He presented Trump with better ideas than those from Ivanka and Kushner.

And in ongoing election news, the PA Supreme Court has once again ruled against Bucks County for ballot fuckery

1. funy
2. You forget that many people were just like him once and are now staunch Trump supporters.
3. I looked at his posts, and I don't think he is as set in his ways as you think.
4. I try to argue in good faith as much as I can, because I won't let my personal principles be dictated by the behavior of post-modernist neo-marxist. You beat bad faith actors by being intentionally good faith and forcing them into responding in kind. They either get bored because you're not getting heckin angy or they actually try to argue the point in good faith and usually fail to do so, since the lack of substance is the reason they chose the bad faith path in the first place.

Wonder if this guy is loonie or establishment...
 
Only redditors use the phrase "Leopards eating faces". You have to go back.
Just discovered this phrase was a thing and I don't know any Redditors who still have Republican or Trump supporting friends. Every Redditor I know has been pitching a childish bitch fit and defriending everyone who disagrees with them politically or that they believe does. Just as a tip for any actual Redditors here, we appreciate you starting to wake up, it's wonderful, but no one here cares about the opinion from your circle jerking midwit echo chamber. If your opinions are bad, you will be told that and no one here is going to clap when you flounce off. I'm sorry you didn't get properly socialized in school because Zero-Tolerance bullying policies meant you didn't get shoulder checked into lockers like you deserved, consider the abuse you are about to suffer here a learning experience
 
Yeah, pretty much this down the line, although in my case it was about Haitians eating cats. Sorry, I just can't take MSNBC "fact-checks" seriously, but you do you. They're disowning everyone because they're all emotional immature midwits who can't imagine they could possibly be wrong. Modern Leftists behave like religious fanatics, plan accordingly.

To be somewhat fair to them, it's not entirely their fault. Their news media told them that Trump was an emerging dictator and a fascist and all sorts of other horrible, histrionic bullshit, and they believed them. So, to them, what does that say about the people who voted for him?

This election basically comes down to: either you believe the media and Trump's a fascist. Or you don't, and he isn't
