This Duplin County native is sick and tired of North Carolina voters who stay home and can’t be bothered. I’m out here on the west coast witnessing the fall of a once great state. What is it going to take to wake people up? This is so corrupt and anti-American. Frankly, it’s embarrassing.

These MAGA folks will go to any lengths to suppress voters who might challenge their grip on power. That’s why it’s critical to reclaim Congress in the midterm elections. They’ve taken such an extreme stance that reasoned debate is no longer an option—impeachment is the only way to hold them accountable. When our representatives like TOM Tillis and others are so consumed by fear of being “primaried." by their own party they are unwilling to recognize the will of their constituents, Democracy is no longer functional. They are in business for themselves, not the folks who put them in office.

Good one--Mr. Art Pope. Have not heard his name in a while. I suppose he has financed a good bit of the st"ickiness" in our NC Legislature conjured, ongoing curse.

Is this the end of the road? Any other means to appeal? This is complete BS.

Absolutely disgraceful, and I'm sure it doesn't reflect the will of the majority in the State. We need to get loud to stop what is going on.

Is this a complete fait accompli?? I thought the governor was appealing the case to the North Carolina Supreme Court? If they accept the appeal, will Allison Riggs have to recuse herself?

I would not think so. This isn't specifically about her seat. This is about theft of Elections in general. Or am I missing something?
