I continue to read of Republicans committing voting crimes. It’s always seemingly them, not us. They cannot help themselves when it comes to cheating, but accuse us
Got an email form minority whip Jay Chaudhuri last night about the subject of Boliek campaigning for Berger, and immediately thought back to when a good friend of mine worked as a chief precinct judge in Chatham County(you probably know her, Thomas. She knows *everybody*). She said she couldn't even put a bumper sticker on her CAR endorsing a candidate, never mind campaign for one.
But that wasn’t the worst part.
The Rockingham County BoE was apparently CLOSED for at least 4 hours yesterday, with a homemade notice printed up and taped to the door saying:
“Board of Elections is closed today.
Election is being reconcilled. [sic]
Please do not disturb!”
So MAYBE it’s just a coincidence that:
* Rockingham County went for Page by 2:1 (67%)
* There’s no reporting I’ve seen that the GUILFORD County BoE needed to “reconcille” anything (emphasis on “that I’ve seen” — maybe that happened.)
* The deadline for curing provisional ballots is TODAY (Friday 3/6)
* The guy overseeing the election was campaigning for *THE GUY WHO GAVE HIM THAT JOB* just last week
* Berger plowed $10 MILLION into a legislative race and still lost
Yeah, all that *could* have happened by coincidence. But it still reeks.
When I read about them closing their BOE, I should have been shocked, but the Republicans will do anything they can to get the results they want. It's not like Page would be any better but he doesn't have the power that Berger foes. I'm truly disgusted with all of them.
Bravo Thomas. I couldn’t have said it better. Rucho is a highly partisan politician with few ethics. He’s originally from Worcester Massachusetts and should be returned to that city on 7 hills 40 miles west of Boston on Route 9 and put head first into Lake Quinsigmond. No trip to Spags either
I can only hope that NC voters have finally started to wake up to the fact that they really screwed themselves royally by swallowing the propaganda from all the Koch money that flooded our state prior to the 2010 election. Voting in a Republican legislature and governor was far too much power for that party to hold at the time. I just hope it’s not too late to rectify at least some of the damage that’s been done by continuing the trend we’ve seen so far in NC and all the other states where Democratic turnout has been very positive.
