With you, Judge Riggs
All the way. You won and no racist white privileged dork will take that away

crazycrab50.bsky.social•2 days ago

States rights! Unless they don’t throw out the 60,000 votes you need purged.

thyroid-2303.bsky.social•2 days ago

Repugs just cannot accept loss.

coloradojones.bsky.social•2 days ago

Seems like this isn’t feasible for military voters. Doesn’t federal law require more time than this between ballot certification and elections, specifically to provide enough time to get ballots to military voters? Then how can military voters respond within a month to tbis?

benjamming2u2.bsky.social•2 days ago

When they lose they cry and say that it was rigged but If they win all's well. FKN Hypocrites.

Fight or fascism, your choice

the-dude-abides.bsky.social•2 days ago

Mixed rulings are the thing this week, I guess. SCROTUS did it too.

rbsnst.bsky.social•2 days ago

Can’t wait to hear what the results of the recount are

spinninonearth.bsky.social•2 days ago

What is wrong with this guy? It's like he's going to have to clean toilets if he loses. Hmm.

progressivepeter.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is there no way to fix the judicial morass associated with election cases? Losing Rs abuse the courts dragging out the loss via suits & appeals, which is playing "judicial lottery" - but with stakes put up by the *public*. We MUST fix this! (Hefty sanctions might dissuade lawyers from filing - ?)

The Fascist MAGA cult doesn't care about women, people of color, LGBTQ+, veterans, seniors, disabled, active military, or immigrants. Hitler wanted a white male dominated Christian nation. Guess who idolizes Hitler: Dumf!

alissa914.bsky.social•2 days ago

This posture and expression proves that this guy is a dick.

nantricia.bsky.social•1 day ago

Every article should be printing the deadline dates and they are not. This ruling was not yesterday. On such an incredibly time sensitive issue, these writers are omitting critical information. 🙄

15 days, 30 days.... THAT'S A MOVING TARGET depending on what day it is.

FFS.

To the Democratic establishment who would not challenge the obviously corrupt/suspect vote counts in the seven swing states, especially given the statisticians dire letter to the DNC and the Democrats about the statistical anomalies in said states, GFY.

bell407.bsky.social•2 days ago

I asked about this repeatedly. Dems apparently just turned tail and ran. Even if there was nothing to the claims, they should have been examined and the findings publicly shared. Too much focus on tradition, decorum and integrity when the GOP has none.

mk26-2.bsky.social•2 days ago

This was the Republicans' plan all along.. Cry whine and complain about election fraud. fake votes, illegals voting and claim election interference over and over and over and over again to force the Democrats to not be able to do it when the Republicans cheated themselves. 'Starlink/doge hackers'

mk26-2.bsky.social•2 days ago

Could it be because it's gonna be a lot harder to have overseas people curing their ballots in less than 30 days than people that are already in the state?. These Republicans are so desperate to hold on to power. They will cheat, steal and lie and degrade our voting systems just to stay in power.

benjamming2u2.bsky.social•2 days ago

Stop The Steal for real. Republican Politicians must be voted out ASAP!!!!!

auntchicky911.bsky.social•1 day ago

just looking at that smug jerk makes me wanna slap his face. he lost so hes good with cheating any way he can and the court is accommodating him.

philipaubin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Stunning that they would try to disenfranchise military voters.

The US clearly doesn't care about voting rights.

lost-wages-joe.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, North Carolina doesn't...

cheers464646.bsky.social•2 days ago

3 major bases here. These folks are insane.

auntieed.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or they military. Or the missionaries...

kavavita.bsky.social•2 days ago

Only military voters who are registered in democratic leaning counties.

Because that’s somehow fair and legal?

blueancestor.bsky.social•2 days ago

😠💩

billejzak.bsky.social•2 days ago

The perverted rationale is that the NC SCt doesn't throw out the in state ballots, but for no good reason still throws out overseas ballots, presumably because they are outcome determinative in favor of Riggs and as a practical matter most can't be timely cured.

jupiter8.bsky.social•2 days ago

FUCK THE NC GOP.

drgoldwing.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lemme guess, 61 court cases later…

By the time you’ve done 2 REcounts (both of which agree with the original results), it’s time to concede graciously and PERHAPS live to run again someday.

djohnson53.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was in the USAF in 1972 and stationed in Northern Japan at the time. I was sent two absentee ballots. I voted for McGovern twice. It didn't help.

grnlght.bsky.social•2 days ago

Their voters are scum they keep voting this garbage in for the sake of a party title, they don't care about policy or fellow Americans only their party name wins. PERIOD

cooljenim.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hate that my vote will count but the men and women who protect my voting right will lose their vote!!! So fucking tired of the NC GOP strangle hold here...

contrary1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is the smirk a requirement for republicans to run for office?

mk26-2.bsky.social•2 days ago

He just looks like a criminal doesn't he? Oh, my gosh.

jzack.bsky.social•2 days ago

He is indeed wearing the uniform of the white collar criminal class

paulaptb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or an overgrown frat boy.

bindlestiff.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would think that, of all the categories of ballots to hold suspect, military and overseas ballots would be the least likely to actual be fraudulent.

tiredofthisshit.bsky.social•2 days ago

Republicans are scum.

randumdude.bsky.social•2 days ago

Attack on our service members serving overseas. NC has turned into one of those shithole countries we heard about.

calvinkclark.bsky.social•2 days ago

El Salvador was on Trump's list of shithole countries in 2018 but he and Bukele are buds now that we can use their megaprison.

mmcrwf.bsky.social•2 days ago

So, are they going to throw out the ones who would give the Democrats the win? Probably so. This and listening to Judge Salas discuss the threats judges are dealing with because of MAGA attacks make me feel as if I'm not even in the USA but a 3rd world country. WTF?

wncwobbly.bsky.social•2 days ago

We have a right to a secret ballot.

How the fuck can they tie a ballot that's been cast to the individual that cast the ballot?

angiseyes.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is about Mail-ins which is tied to an identity

wncwobbly.bsky.social•1 day ago

I've used a mail in ballot in NC. Using that accessibility service should not in any way forfeit an individual's right to a secret ballot.

pianoman78.bsky.social•2 days ago

North Carolina is like the other red states. Full of crooked republicans that are out to destroy our democracy with their lies and hate.

cheers464646.bsky.social•2 days ago

I got here 20 years ago. Fairly blue. We have gone full in maga due to low info voters and voting down party lines. Trump gave 1 percent of fema request in 2017 and those same victims of the hurricane voted for him again.

ysosidious.bsky.social•1 day ago

Massive amounts of gerrymandering, and I’m seriously doubting our elections in NC are not rigged to favor Republicans, but most likely the fault the NC Democratic Party has been extremely passive for decades. The new party chair is building momentum at last.

cheers464646.bsky.social•1 day ago

She is awesome.

stoicinthe314.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not that SCONC would eve think of putting their thumbs on the scale. No, silly thought.,
