NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks.

The website to check linked in the reply.

Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.

Read Danielle Sassoon’s Letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, writes to Attorney General Pam Bondi, refusing to drop the case against Mayor Eric Adams.

Read Sassoon’s Letter to AG Pam Bondi explaining why she is refusing to drop the case against Mayor Eric Adams.

Unfortunately, Pam Bondi is incapable of understanding integrity, principles, laws, oath of office, or even the basic difference between right & wrong.

"dismissing without prejudice and with the express option of again indicting Adams in the future creates obvious ethical problems, by implicitly threatening future prosecution if Adams’s cooperation with enforcing the immigration laws proves unsatisfactory to the Department." A sword of Damocles.

Democrat Ken Jenkins won this special election for county exec over a Trump-endorsed Republican who was bent on deep-sixing the county's sanctuary status and backing the Trump agenda. And he won it big--bigger than expected. Hold onto that as a sign of what Democrats can do when they stick together.
