They NEVER give up. And they win often because they don’t.

What an absolute ghoul. Give it up already to this sore friggin loser.

Judge Griffin's counsel just confirmed that he wants people's votes to be thrown out *even if* they registered and voted consistent with instructions from the Board of Elections, based on Judge Griffin's view that the Board's instructions were mistaken.

Sounds like the opposite of democracy

theglobalvc.bsky.social•2 days ago

"the Board's instructions were mistaken" - like "The Board did not indicate that I am the only candidate you can vote for"?

He's like a kid on a playground changing the rules mid-game.

segalmr.bsky.social•2 days ago

one of the lawyers on the other side essentially said just that

Yeah my mom (on the list), on advice of Common Cause, talked to Orange County BoE to see if there was some way to cure this. Told she had done everything right, nothing to change. Think she's going to re-register before midterms though, just because

He might as well just ask that all Democratic voters be considered invalid voters, if he’s going to be this absurd.

Clearly stock market and allies don’t mean anything to Trump

Knee capping all institutions that help elders and sick people are on purpose.

He believes that people will die off as a result to achieve his goals.

Thus lowering the cost of doing business. Let that sink in. How much are you worth?

he should remember this rule: never try to extort someone for more than it would cost them to have you killed

I like the cost of taking my vote is your life rule.

Griffin should be disqualified and banned from being seated even if he wins this case.

justhangingout.bsky.social•2 days ago

And banned from being a judge when he loses.

The ACLU brief explains that Griffin's argument — seeking to throw out ballots cast *in reliance* on govt instructions — contradicts the NC Constitution and 125+ yrs of NC case law.

segalmr.bsky.social•2 days ago

Judge Griffin's counsel: "The remedy we're seeking is the discounting of ballots...."

joedudekjd.bsky.social•2 days ago

And as it turns out, he ran right into the teeth of N.C. DOJ's pre-written introductory remarks in the process.

So will these rejected ballots also be taken away from the other posts up for election that day ie President and Governor?

susubrooks.bsky.social•2 days ago

A very Trumpist interpretation of laws and regulations. Waiting for that to become the next originalism.

JFC this is still going on??!!

flower-nymph234.bsky.social•2 days ago

What are the odds of this being a positive outcome for democracy? Does anyone know?

flower-nymph234.bsky.social•2 days ago

As in, the judge will rule in the favor of saving these votes

flower-nymph234.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fucking Christ...
