I'm curious about the timeline for the Berger-Page race to be settled. After last year's Supreme Court challenges against Justice Riggs by the GOP, I have no confidence that any GOP candidate would concede willingly!
✅Provisional ballots have been counted and now Berger is behind by 23 votes
All great questions that need to be asked, especially now in light of all the Riggs brouhaha last year. With the changes the legislature made at the Board of Elections, nothing can be said to be set in stone; at least without a fight.
Will Tillis return to North Carolina or be like many NCGOP who “love the state and want to make life better for its citizens” while running for the Senate or House; then not return after losing?
I think both of them thought they could manage or at least navigate a mob. Berger did a better job of that than Tillis, but in the end Berger's partisanship and his endless need to be in charge led to his demise.
Maybe NC is emerging from a 15-year nightmare. I lived through the Jesse Helms era. There is a nut base that won’t go away.
Well put Berger: A fish that got too big for its pond

If Berger loses, when does the battle for his leadership position get going?
When does the first legislative session in 2027 start?

Good riddance to both.
Regarding Tillis or anyone really: What good is it to “know what’s right and do the wrong thing” anyway?

"Berger and Tillis [took became] dominant Republicans in 2011 and appear likely to leave together in [2017]."
"took became" -- huh? I do not understand this grammar.
"2017" -- huh? Oh, please, I really don't want to repeat all of this from 2017.....
