So the Republican candidate committed a crime?

conniewithcats.bsky.social•44 days ago

They know that gerrymandering will only work for a limited time. Demographics are changing, and older generations are declining. Solidifying control is their objective.

Said lawyer, Craig Schauer, should be disbarred. Anyone who went to #UNC undergrad and then #duke for law school has literally no integrity. #GoHeels

these GOP scum are going to keep pushing to illegally seize as much power as possible until the silent majority of this country coalesce and take direct action.

robertkis.bsky.social•45 days ago

Subterfuge.
Any person that goes this far to disenfranchise so many votes, does not deserve to be on any bench.
Shades of things to come, if Griffin prevails

old-curmudgeon.bsky.social•44 days ago

In my experience, the first question a judge asks if you appear without opposing counsel is whether you gave notice. So in this case, the lawyer violated ethics rules and the judge proved himself incompetent. Or biased.

skywarp84.bsky.social•44 days ago

I saw this. North Carolina Republicans are trying to actually do what Trump tried to do in 2020. This story should be a national outrage right now. This is a horrific betrayel of the voters will. It looks like something coordinated in a mafia movie.

hollandaisesauce.bsky.social•44 days ago

Sooooo Murica you going just stand there in the corner while they burn the house down?

IOKIYAR. It's been that way pretty much my whole life.

damlifecoach.bsky.social•44 days ago

Where is the outrage?

himham.bsky.social•44 days ago

"An attorney... went before a Wake County judge this week without notifying opposing counsel"

How does this keep happening

If I'm that judge, motion denied with prejudice. Where's your opposing counsel? Get the hell out of here.

prsf04.bsky.social•44 days ago

Maybe attorneys need to stand up for the law instead of acting like it’s a sporting event…where result doesn’t matter…just the win. This is not a game. Some lose sight of this.

inkonelbows.bsky.social•44 days ago

angela1973.bsky.social•44 days ago

I honestly can't believe they are doing this.

thewritingjones.bsky.social•45 days ago

The Insurrectionist Party's most tried-and-true tactic: try shit and see what we can get away with. If that doesn't work try some different shit.

darkaverymariah23.bsky.social•44 days ago

What is the State Democratic Party leadership doing about this? We already know what Republicans are doing I want to see what the state Democratic Party leadership is doing to fight for these VOTERS.

glenndavid711.bsky.social•45 days ago

There is a reason why that attorney specifically went to that judge. I'm glad the judge also smelled deception going on.

georgiablue.bsky.social•44 days ago

Taking power any way they can.

ejwb24.bsky.social•44 days ago

NC GOP is the worst for election interference, blocking votes, throwing out ballots, voter suppression, and otherwise wasting taxpayer money.

tkg-nc.bsky.social•44 days ago

The NC GOP is unbelievably disgraceful.

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social•44 days ago

Republicans are going to try to steal every election from here on out and force us into a civil war.

Call the NC Supreme Court and let them know the ppl are not pleased at (919) 831-5700

g-paknowsbest2.bsky.social•44 days ago

They can’t accept a legitimate loss. How much money has this cost the state? He needs to man up, take the loss and move on.

trizlo.bsky.social•44 days ago

Don’t worry the dems will just roll over on the high road. Nothing could be done.

maggyw.bsky.social•44 days ago

It’s a sickness to blame the Dems for GOP
Bullshit. Stop

moonstone160.bsky.social•44 days ago

Can we be real about this for a minute? Who’s going to stop them?

dzman.bsky.social•44 days ago

Pretty soon the R supermajority will just pass a law that Democrats aren’t allowed in NC court rooms.

tsonic45.bsky.social•44 days ago

They still think they're in the Confederacy. If you've ever been to the western part of the state, you'll see lots of sofas on the front porch or in the front yard. Yea haw.

dibon5.bsky.social•45 days ago

Cheating as rigging failed by GOP

thepirateswife.bsky.social•44 days ago

What happens to the other elections if these votes are invalidated? Could we lose our Democratic Governor and AG? Sounds coup-ish to me.

fishyonekenobi.bsky.social•43 days ago

Republicans are corrupt and rely on a partisan judiciary to subvert the rights of voters and non-MAGA politicians. When will the corruption stop? Not in the next four years that’s for sure.

photodog.bsky.social•44 days ago

Would you buy a used car from the guy on the right? Republicans have lost the art of accepting defeat gracefully. It's always fight, cheat and lie.

carolinaregulators.bsky.social•44 days ago

They want their participation trophies.

Griffin is SUCH an asshole to tie the courts up like that! Imagine him pulling such unethical stunts on the SC!

11lexie.bsky.social•44 days ago

Why would you expect them to follow norms and the rule of law when Trump has shown there is very little to be lost by just doing whatever you want and claiming to have won.

blackbelt010.bsky.social•44 days ago

Corruption personified.

diehardliberal.bsky.social•44 days ago

They've made it plain as day they don't believe in democracy unless it can be used to further their authoritarianism agenda.

bluerider99.bsky.social•44 days ago

there is nothing too shady, too immoral or too illegal for a republican that think they can make a $.

ginnyodudek.bsky.social•44 days ago

I heard that the winners parents voted for their daughter and their votes are being questioned. This is insane.

resistamerica.bsky.social•44 days ago

An attorney violating the local rules and state procedural rules? Someone should have the state bar investigate this weasel.

I haven’t trusted GOP to play by the rules since 2000. When I was still a registered Republican.

joerega.bsky.social•44 days ago

We all remember the hanging Chad farce.

dreamyaj.bsky.social•44 days ago

It was worse than that to me. The idea that my party didn’t want to count the votes because power was more important than the truth. That made me sick.

anniebkay.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yes - that one party is ok with violence, cheating, anything and can not lose is illegal. Democrats & Ind of conscious must hold them to account for breaking the law - and yet.

rizzowang.bsky.social•43 days ago

Unfortunately we do. I still make jokes occasionally about it. :/

Glad you are on it Marc. She needs help

bella0910.bsky.social•44 days ago

If the voters ballots are ultimately not counted, will it influence outcomes on any other races, or is the request narrow to challenge the judicial race? There have been other NC issues I have been watching for (election rules related) that I don't see in the news.

cellarette.bsky.social•45 days ago

What a colossal waste of everyone's time and money.

pasteresq.bsky.social•44 days ago

If you have the law, pound the law. If you have the facts, pound the facts. If you have the court, end run your adversary. Oldest adage in law.

katyaj.bsky.social•44 days ago

FAFO. No depth of corruption in N.C. Think judge changed her ruling because you shone the light on her.

barbaraandes.bsky.social•44 days ago

The GOP (not just in NC) is an evil, anti-democracy, anti-civil rights organization.

linwetzel.bsky.social•44 days ago

"Antics" like this need to have immediate resolution; and those doing the 'antics' need to be charged, fined, and jailed. They got away with an insurrection, it took them almost 4 years to find, charge and hold trials; and one well-known contributor gets off without ANY charges. America dies.

petigrusghost.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yeah, the family values klan cheats again.

katiebenston.bsky.social•45 days ago

I am aggravated and feeling powerless that even the people whose names appear on the list of contested voters cannot stop Griffin’s plan to nullify their vote.

fedupwiththis.bsky.social•44 days ago

They never stop cheating

thatothermj.bsky.social•44 days ago

Unsurprised. He lost - albeit by a very tight margin - but he still lost. End of story.

MAGA has infected this nation with their EI/voter fraud bullshit and it’s 100% projection and deflection to take the attention away from themselves so they can crime.

sheamus15.bsky.social•44 days ago

Just another wonderful day in NC running blindfolded straight into the fire.

If your team is involved I hope you make their case another joke.

jcstarbuck.bsky.social•44 days ago

I admire you for the work you do, but it is increasingly obvious that the "rule of law" doesn't apply to everyone in America. And while that's always been true, our legal world more closely resembles Kafka's legal world.

Keep up the fight.
