I think it’s important to emphasize that this is an election for a position on the state’s *Supreme Court*, for which we need a commitment to impartiality and a probing discernment that will ensure justice in case outcomes. All we can see in Griffin is a shameless thirst for power.

If someone is so desperate to win an election, they will say and do anything to achieve their goal? Especially disenfranchisement? No American who truly believed in democracy should vote for such lack of character. Of course, that would disqualify almost ever GOP office holder in the country.

If you are a citizen of the US, you have a constitutional right to be able to vote. Have I totally misunderstood my civics lessons from when I was in school? Now this person wants to strip that away due to a bureaucratic mistake that these voters had nothing to do with, all because he lost?

The constitutional right to vote has been watered down by Republicans for decades by passing restrictions and obstacles (many illegal) making it harder and harder to vote. Now with all levers of power under Republican control, it can be overturned by the whim of its MAGA packed Supreme Court.

If the votes are proven to be disqualified, does that also disqualify every OTHER candidate and proposition that was voted on those ballots? Would there need to be another election? How can we cherrypick just this one? AND WHO IS PAYING FOR THESE LEGAL CHALLENGES?

My understanding is that the RNC has a suit using this same theory to throw out votes all over the state (not sure if it's only certain counties or not). The appeals court put that case on hold until this one is decided.

Thanks for the info, and it definitely makes sense that the RNC is waiting in the wings. My heart is in constant hurt for how people are so ok with treating others so brazenly unjustly. Human decency, while it still exists, is not common among leaders. I appreciate you. 💙

I still hold this guy knows something. Either he "knows" elections will not be held again, so he needs to get into his position of power NOW or he "knew" he was "supposed to win" during the election but didn't.

We created a society that values winning over truth and fairness. This was the inevitable result of a society that accepted the phrase “alternative truth” and let them get away with it. America is over. When these dipshits are gone, let’s build something better.

How did we get from stopping fraud to committing fraud by refusing election results. This is not my American Ideal. It’s corruption, a corruption as old as human history.

See? …. MAGAs never give up, never bend the knee. That is why they win even with the most outrageous arguments. We loose because we are too 🤬 comfortable to fight. Why did Kamala concede????!! I still can’t believe it.

The Republican Party is actually dead. The days of Reagan and Bush are over. These are the children of Newt Gingrich and the Tea Party. And thanks to Trump, the proto-fascist caterpillar is becoming a full-fledged Fascist Butterfly.

What are they waiting for, just swear her in!!! The GOP would have and then there would be zero chance of getting it back if the situation were reversed.

How ironic that a candidate for the state Supreme Court is attempting to use the system against itself. Another Libertarian-right motivated politician who can't see the forest for the trees.

Projection at its finest. And you're right, if this is allowed to happen, the stage is set for continual lawsuits. Voters will stop voting because their voices will always be challenged.

There's a long looong firmly held tradition of shitting on any motion to retroactively purge votes 🗳 But I think what we should add to that tradition is publically kneecaping any mfkr stupid enough to try it

When I hung out on Daily Kos ages ago, one of the accounts who posted regularly had the following quote from their mother: “Republicans are poor losers and worse winners.” This was uttered in the 1960s—it hasn’t aged a day since.

In the “old” days, like 50-60 yrs ago, suits like this would have been dismissed & laughed out of courtrooms everywhere in America. This is how far we have fallen in the USA. No such thing among Republicans for accepting the “will of voters” when they lose. 🛑 voting for Republican sore losers!!

Holy shit. So u pay taxes and ur not a felon and ur a resident and say born in the US but ur right to vote can be erased if this cunt says so??? Fuck this guy, hold him in contempt for using such a seditious lie as his argument

Doesn't surprise me,as many rights we fought for seem to be on the cutting floor.I don't notice any Republicans making front page news calling this behavior out,so there ya go ,free and fair elections will only happens if millions of Americans hit the streets protesting now,not in 2028,just saying.

This guy has to be the biggest piece of shit in the history of North Carolina. The people need to send him a message that they will never forget what he is attempting to do, and make a pledge to never vote for another Russian Republican candidate again!

If the right to vote is not absolute then they need to update their citizenship test! One of the questions is “what are two responsibilities or duties you have as an American citizen which you don’t have as a resident alien?” The answer is “the duty to serve on a jury and the DUTY to vote!

Maybe that mouthpiece can say that with a straight face and even believe it. Maybe he's got a case law leg to stand on in saying it. But he shouldn't have a leg to stand on and it should be absolute. If you're a citizen and attained age of majority then you should get a vote and it should count
