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.
Lol.
We’re literally going to let anti-democratic shitstains abuse the fuck out of our institutions, wearing them down, until they can simply assume and not give up power because our institutions are too stretched thin and weakened to do anything about it.
Holy fuck our founding fathers would be utterly ashamed.
If you’re a history buff interested in the fall of Rome, this time period in America must be utterly terrifying and fascinating to witness.
Also 1933 Germany. Although Hitler only got about 35 percent of the popular vote, so facism in the US right now is actually more popular than it was in Germany when the Nazis took over.
