Don’t let them steal her win!

Judge Allison Riggs won this election fair and square. White Male Republicans aren't allowing her to take her seat in the Supreme Court of NC.

They are all a bunch of racist, mycologist ass wipes.

patchessandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

They didn’t disqualify that many ballots for no reason! I wish Dems were as intelligent as they claim they are!

Griffin, is this your burner account? Lmao

Griffin voted via absentee ballot while on national guard duty and he wants to throw out a huge chunk of ballots who voted that same way. Where I'm from, that makes him a hypocrite.

The Republicans are enablers and support the cruel and sadistic dictatorship of Trump. Resist the cruelty and violence— we are powerful when we come together as a strong and resilient nation. We refuse the violence of Trump.

She must win in the end!!!!

Can we not find 65000 Republican votes "to be thrown in the bin"??!!

ladybyrd.bsky.social•3 days ago

This situation is outrageous! As a resident of NC I’m both angry and horrified.

sassyvan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Please tell all your neighbors to check to see if their vote needs to be corrected!!!

We live in a time where we must all bulwark our democracy.

Now they're rigging elections! Ugh! That judge needs to be removed from the bench! He's obviously sick.

When Judges decide to just throw out votes, they are stepping over the line. They do not get to decide races.

Disqualifying 65,000 ballots is not what democracy is about.

Republican cheating again.
These people must be stopped.

Voters electing judges is wrong. Just wrong. That's the problem.

But do not resort to force, as this will be an excuse to call out for military law

dolicious.bsky.social•2 days ago

How are they going to inform those 65k ppl about their votes??

After the failed assassination attempt, Adolf Hitler used guilt by association as a manipulation tool, a strategy that is also adopted by RACIRS agents around the world. Watch the documentary "The Impact" to learn more and protect democracy

So 65000 ballots wouldn't that mean any of the other people on the ballots are also effected. There vote totals would be also/ does this change their races too?

imnotapu2.bsky.social•3 days ago

15 days. I don't mean to make light of this BS, but she doesn't need all ~65,000 votes. She'll need, what, like 736? I think once NC officials reach that number they won't need to count anymore of the contested ballots? (They should though for total transparency).

necroticdonquixote.bsky.social•2 days ago

I did some thinking about this, and I think I'm wrong on coming up my numbers. I'm not going to attempt more bad math. I just wanted to acknowledge that I was wrong.

Keep fighting we are behind you stay strong thank you

This attempt to steal an election should galvanize voters in North Carolina against the fascist and authoritarian Republican party. The Republican party is no longer an acceptable choice for those who support democracy and the rule of law.
