here's one report from the last hour (Friday evening) ... I *think* what it's saying is that the R candidate has lost a bid to the NC Supreme Court to stay the election, but there are further avenues he can pursue, w/ parts of his case now going to a U.S. District Court

Fucking GOPs are going steal elections everywhere

reply

bodhidave.bsky.social•64 days ago

I'm in North Carolina. We were successful in electing Dems to state-wide offices this fall, like the governor and lieutenant governor. But NC is one of the more egregiously Republican-gerrymandered states, and R's again took the state legislature and a majority of Congressional seats.

reply

geekbook2119.bsky.social•64 days ago

D's should've figured out they can't win against a gang that is sophisticated enough to play dirty tricks to steal everything they don't deserve. Some once said that nobody cares what a rabbit is thinking since it's harmless for everyone, but when a lion stops eating humans, it becomes sublime.

reply

momonome.bsky.social•65 days ago

Nope. Means it is going to District Court (Federal) and is assigned a Repub. judge.

dask24.bsky.social•64 days ago
