I think the objection is that the count was handled properly the first time.
There’s a concern that with every recount, votes will be thrown out.
If anyone knows otherwise, I’d like to know
Forgive me. I meant to ask why Dem voters are NOT protesting the matter. Perhaps they are. There is very little traction showing they are. Thank u so very much for taking the time to respond. 😊🤝
Follow protests over NC SB 382. Named the “Disaster Relief” bill but 12 pages for NC hurricane victims and 118 pgs striping the new Dem gov, AG, Sec of Ed, & more of power.Wish Rev Wm Barber would speak out re this Supreme Ct fight.
What they are doing is criminal. And I’ve signed a couple of petitions and made some phone calls but I haven’t seen Rev Barber or anyone else doing any organizing.
They're currently trying to steal powers from the governor, AG, Lt Governor and Superintendent. Relublicans lost in a free and fair election and their answer is to use their super majority to take over anyway. It's despicable politics.
Thanks. It’s so crazy that we elected Dems for Governor, Lt. Gov, atty General & more….. and then Trump.
I still think there’s something more to the story
I pray that you protest like in the countries of Georgia & South Korea. If you back down, your voice will be lost forever. You must decide where you stand & commit. This is NOT A GAME!
This proves that Dems CAN WIN when they DON'T CONCEDE too early! I've also seen this in other elections & in most cases the Dem ends up with EVEN MORE votes when the recounts are done! This is WHY Kamala should've asked for recounts in some places!
Kamala lost by too much of a margin. Also, this race was initially called for Riggs. The results didn’t flip, they were just confirmed. She would never have conceded because she was called as the winner from the beginning.
This is going to be a lesson learned again like my gran and dads Gen went through during the Hoover era McCarthy era. Even though this administrations line up looks like they drafted from the Badminton Association…there’s no Chief Justice Earl Warren et al, that even comes close to what transpired
Before the election, Griffon (R) tried to have votes pre-thrown out and he lost that case in court. After the second recount he and the Republicans are trying, again, to get 60k votes thrown out. So, no, Griffon is going Kerri Lake.
That republicans have resorted to cheating since trump made it the status quo and theyve been losing popular votes for decades - its a dying party unless they truly make some big changes
They called the race for her before the recount happened. The Republican was allowed to challenge because it was within a certain margin. The results didn’t flip. There was no voter fraud or cheating etc. There is massive voter suppression in NC but unfortunately it’s entirely legal.
Yes! Having spent a few years in Charlotte NC, nothing there surprises me. I was in City Hall delivering a $1.5 workforce grant when the mayor was arrested. Fun times. P.S. the grant was successful.
My 42 year old son, who has a reading disability found audio books some years ago, and it has been a God send for him. I don't care how you ingest a book. Just do it.
However, I'm m still angry 😡 about Trumpstein's pick, Harmeet Dhilon to lead the Civil Rights at the DOJ. She's a Trump's loyalist & election denier on Fox propaganda TV.
So again, Trump's trying to fortify himself with maga lawyers to defeat voting rights.
Marc,
Please comment on this interview and reliability of what this very renowned Data Scientist is saying.
Why can’t we recount at least ONE of those Counties?
Can anyone explain why Democrats are loathe to even consider something as rudimentary as a recount. At least for swing states that turned the election & may have concerning outcomes. Six hundred thousand votes with no down ballot selection? Aren't the stakes high enough to question it? Just saying.
The GOP is so soft. Worst sore losers there are. They are definitely the people who should not be in charge of the bank when playing the board game monopoly because they would change the rule and take some $ off the top.
AMERICA GET 2 TIX 4 INAUGURATION DAY YOUR ALLOWED 2EA PER SENATOR GET ALL FAMILY MEMBERS TIX ALSO ASAP. & GET HIM WHERE IT HURTS CROWD SIZE ( DONT SHOW UP) LET TRUMP KNOW AMERICAS STILL OURS NOT HIS & HIS CRIME FAMILYS...SHARE SHARE SHARE..
Would not be shocked to find out that a lot of borderline trump voters (borderline on making the effort to vote) decided to make the effort to vote after the assassination attempt. But only cared enough to fill out his bubble.
We did our paper ballot audit in GA. Unfortunately it was exactly as it was in the initial count. I would have guessed differently based on who I was seeing in line at the polls. Young people, first time voters of all ages, women, all kinds of ethnicities - but looks were deceiving.
After every election the Secretary of States office determines a sampling plan for all the counties to conduct. The counties sample their printed paper ballots according to the plan and run a manual audit, counting each paper ballot in the batch.
A significant number of people who voted for Trump were not politically informed enough to know who to vote for down ballot and vice versa for Kamala supporters.
Afraid Trump voters are just dumb, not alot of conspiracy there.
Unfortunately, this is the conclusion I came to as well. It was all about the big feels at the grocery store and gas pump. Between these apathetic voters and those who sat on the couch, this is how Melon Felon won.
They soaked up all that misinformation! They have no clue how to decipher misinformation from facts. And of course all the people who did not vote and I blame a lot on them
You’re not alone! IMO It’s not being a conspiracy theorist or an election denier to question a situation that looks & feels all kinds of weird and very wrong. Especially considering who’s involved & all the suspicious things they’ve done and said.💙✊
Agree. The slim margin of 1.4% or so. The unexpected loss by people like Lichtman. The 15 or so million who "unexpectedly" did not vote. We are not the only people who feel in their gut that something feels off about this election.
An awful lot of young men 1 didn't think their vote would matter, 2. Didn't think Trump would really win. 3 admitted that they didn't think US is "ready" for a woman president. Not sure how many older folks didn't vote for the same reason but this is what I'm hearing.
When a friend worried that all of his immediate and extended family had NO idea that Biden was no longer running, we knew we were in trouble. A lot of people in this country, like millions of people, struggle with life and don't have leisure to sit and read/watch news.
Why did we not recount any votes in swing states? It's very unlikely that he won every one of them by a slight margin...just enough to not trigger automatic recounts.
That's my beef too. Are we supposed to believe that with so much at stake, a lifelong conman and his grifter buddy would leave it all up to the voters? There had to be shenanigans involved, we just don't know what they were. Yet....
So angry & disgusted with the democrats for not pursuing recounts. Their supporters deserved the reassurance that the traitorous, fascist, lying, cheating, projecting, criminal gop & their felon daddy didn’t steal the election
I can only conclude that either they think they’re taking the high road & not exacerbating the gop’s “rigged election” bs or they’re complicit too. Regardless of their motivations, the American people are getting royally screwed
There is zero possibility. I could care less if I sound like a MAGA idiot from 2020. The world’s biggest cheater and fraud won all on his own because of his sparkling personality and his profound “concepts of plans” please!
This is a great win even if Dems are still in the minority. It's going to take a monumental effort by the judiciary to keep up with the huge amount of cases coming their way, to hold the line for democracy.
The Party of tRump just cannot stop trying to steal elections they lose. Just show you what greedy little pigs they really are. My apologies to pigs, for comparing them to The Party of tRump.
Then you need to do everything in your power to make sure that her seat is not taken away from her... Y'all need to start protesting at your capitol etc. there in North Carolina.... Velshie on MSNBC just interviewed her it is up to you guys to fight for her and fight for your votes!!!
GREAT NEWS !!! The process of digging America out from the dire setback of the 2024 elections; and laying the foundations of Victory in the 2026 midterms and in 2028, has begin VERY well. But there is SO very much to be done !!!
My question is this. If a recount of any sort is done do they recount all of the votes on the ballots involved for all of the results? If not, why not?
Super…very very good to hear!,!
RCV - Ranked Choice Voting won the ballot in Alaska today. Hip hip hooray 💙💙💙💙. It was a recounted
GOP can’t stand loosing
Start the #resistance in your city, gather friends and family. Organize a march or a protest.
Remember to remain NON-VIOLENT.
Use your voice and your pen.
Teach the girls how to fight dirty. (YBMC)
Teach boys to respect/protect women.
There is no time to lose! Start NOW.
GA for the win. BUT they passing a bill here tomorrow to something very similar to our incoming governor, Attorney General, and Lt. Governor. Stripping powers on steroids. We are screwed for decades!
It's in the media here in NC and people are furious. The bill is complete BS and the GQP's attempt to take total control of election oversite. The details are listed at the bottom of this article. It's sickening!
MIA and late as usual. They keep saying it’s for relief in western NC and. It providing any context. So the average watcher thinks… what’s the big deal. Today they are talking about the vote and should’ve talked about 3 weeks ago when the GOP did the first vote.
In addition to the offices Shomar mentioned; against the will of the people, Republicans are removing responsibilities from the incoming Democrat for the statewide office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. We elected him over a complete maga and inexperienced person.
Gerrymandering sucks.
I was door knocking for Flip NC this year and we focused on judges. It’s not dead but we needed this election and then we need another election cycle to be able to overturn the crazy gerrymandering. It’s all about the long term goal, which is still possible if people vote.
People think America is so broken that they want to see it crash in the hope that it will be fixed from the ashes. They want their states to help them when that happens though.
From school house to White House! And as Mitch said once said if the you have courts ! Congress doesn’t matter! They still have main court! But if Dems win enough lower courts they can put pressure on Supreme Court! They can’t take up every case!! And if they show all people who they are!OUTRAGE!
Usual Fascist playbook by Trump and the GOP. Inflation was the X-Factor, Biden waited too long to bow out, and Harris was a mediocre candidate at best.
We've got to do better next time, if we actually get a next time.
This is a BIG victory for North Carolina; opening the way to Victories in 2026 & 2028 despite Republican cheating, voter suppression & gerrymandering. Nationally, it's a modest but very positive early step forward towards overcoming the 2024 setback, and crushing Trump Fascism, in 2026 and 2028.
Every Big victory is an event worth noting. You are right it is a Big Victory, one noteworthy and newsworthy, and deservedly celebratory moment in time.
Every night I pray for America. I Pray that either the Supreme Court gets the balls and serves Trump with the 14th amendment or God intervenes and saves America in any manner he seems fit. So many will suffer for foolish actions made by the few.will not be just America but many other nations.
Deism: Some Founding Fathers, like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, were influenced by Deism, a belief in a creator who does not intervene in the universe. Deists believed in reason and science rather than religious dogma2.
The first two counts were exactly the same. In my opinion, the third count is the least reliable because it was a partial hand count. Hand counts are less reliable than machine counts because of human error. And even it gave more votes to Riggs. Voter integrity was protected… this time.
Nope. It wasn’t rigged. Democrats sound just like MAGA when they say that shit. Our system is screwed up, but the way it’s screwed up is entirely out in the open. We can choose to focus on fixing it, or we can make up idiotic conspiracy theories that aren’t supported by any evidence.
Well, one win for my state. We Democrats are so fed up with the cheating Republicans. How can we win nearly all the votes for state legislatures but Trump wins the presidency vote?
Comments
I fear this is NOT over.
Republicans will do anything to delay the official results.
There’s a concern that with every recount, votes will be thrown out.
If anyone knows otherwise, I’d like to know
We have to turn up the energy and get back to work
It makes my head spin

After NLRB and Wray obeying in advance, I’m scared.
I think I may have to watch hallmark for the rest of the day. Ugh
Trying not to sink into gloom
UGH. JFC. SMH.
Really happy for her
Every time there's a recount, democrats win.
What's that tell you?!

In this day a governor is more powerful than a senator.
Trust me I know. Still trying to undo the crap they pulled while they were in power for 10 plus years.
pathetic fucking cheaters
We've got to do better next time, if we actually get a next time.
Thank you for all that you do, and let’s keep this seat!
Excellent
