It’s amazing the difference between how some Republicans speak 5 minutes after their political careers are over compared to the time when they wanted the cult leader to love them.

The ONLY way this entire “exposè” works is to be absolutely silent and unquestioning about why white men disproportionately held these positio s for generations, why they STILL disproportionately hold these positions despite some minor changes in a single age-cohort. That silence is required.

This "ruling" — 5 months after the 2024 election — would require 60,000+ NC voters who cast a ballot legally to somehow "cure" those ballots with ~2 weeks notice. It also tosses other eligible ballots completely. Should it stand, it would be the end of free and fair elections as we know them.

I’m trying, and I hope other people will try, to hold onto the simple notion that a US president cannot simply declare a federal law that was passed last year and literally upheld this week to be a nullity—even if it’s a not-so-hot law. The Congress is the body that can amend or repeal federal laws.
