Democracy was fun while it lasted (not really, but better than the facist hell we’re entering).

      Even when they win! This is the equivalent of winning 2-1 and still contesting the other team’s goal.

    And it won’t just affect NC:

    The race has national significance because Riggs’ victory would give Democrats a shot at retaking the court’s majority after 2028. That would allow them to oversee the state’s redistricting process in 2031. That is particularly consequential because the current majority on the court upheld heavily gerrymandered maps drawn by the Republican-controlled state legislature that allowed Republicans to pick up three US House seats in November—just enough to maintain control of the chamber and ensure one-party rule in DC.

    but his list of challenged ballots includes many lawful voters—including [Riggs’ own parents]

      Wrong parents, he wants to throw out the votes of the winners parents. Riggs is the democratic judge that won.

    Sounds like NC’s Supreme Court needs a visit from the green hatted plumber.

    The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

      They don’t care about the law.

      THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE LAW.

      And I’m so tired of “Trump and Republican’s can’t legally ____.” THEY DO NOT CARE.

        The Constitution is pretty clear that trump doesn’t qualify for the office, yet here we are. It’s freaking insane watching this happen in my lifetime.
