I hate living in NC so much. By the numbers we should be a blue state. Our governor is a democrat because he’s elected by popular vote. Narrowly of course, but still our lawmakers should at least be close to a 50-50 split down the ausle. Instead we avoided a republican supermajority in congress by the skin of our teeth. And just as we’re breathing a sigh of relief SURPRISE this bitch decided she wanted to upend what little faith we had in our state government.
Republicans are always finding ways to subvert democracy but this is the most vile shit they’ve pulled yet imo. I can’t imagine anything more effective at keeping people from the polls like showing them no matter how they vote, even if their candidate wins, it’s all for nothing because their candidate was a plant.
