I am sick of these MAGAts and the stupid “good” people who continue to support their blatant criminality and immorality. R=good, D=bad. It is insanity.

Ann Franklin's avatar

Yes they are. They are throwing out votes, because a MAGA didn’t win. It will go to NC Supreme Court which is stacked with MAGA & I’m sure they wi declare that she didn’t win. They don’t win, unless they cheat. Our VITES don’t count!!! We need HELP !!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

It’s really sad too the money that has to be spent to protect your rights and fight maga 🤮🤢

Oaktown's avatar

Which is why lawyers could help by offering their services in such cases pro bono.

Kuguneenie's avatar

Right like those big law firms Trump went after and now are offering him 100 million in lawyers work!

AAA M's avatar

Well now, we definitely know who those lawyers are gonna be voting into office don't we? God help us if we democrats tried the same thing.

Pamela Godman's avatar

Isn’t that the truth and they’ll help him figure out how to run for a 3rd term or how to end elections all together

AAA M's avatar

Those are really SICK people.

Oaktown's avatar

No, those firms offered pro bono work for Caligula, not the people caught in his net of oppression, but thanks for clearing that up. Calling all lawyers who believe in the rule of law: offer pro bono services to the unjustly accused who can't afford to defend themselves. It could improve your public relations, which so far are in the toilet (with notable exceptions to those ethical and patriotic firms who are refusing to pay extortion to him).

Dee Joy's avatar

Yes like they could work for good instead of evll. They gave trump $100 million in pro bono fees. The billionaire - it's outrageous!

Pamela Godman's avatar

One who doesn’t need it and sues at a drop of a pin and then throws them to the curb when not needed again.

Pamela Godman's avatar

It is and they need to get some balls and walk out They’d find a strong backing if they did I bet

Instead of kissing his orange behind and ring

Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

AAA M's avatar

I'm from Pa. and I'm very sure Trump didn't win here legally. We are more for the democrats and alway have been. Glad you posted that link above and make sure all you NC voters check that list out. I wish I could help but I'm not in NC. Allison Riggs votes have been checked and rechecked enough times. She has won. Those magas should have the book thrown at them.

Sny Bod's avatar

Link doesn’t work. Please can you repost?

Lois's avatar

thanks for posting this!

Jordano's avatar

From who? This is our life now

Sally Skellington's avatar

NO! This is not our life now. 😡 Lay down, and do nothing? I guess it's your choice.

Wiss's avatar

This is just one problem with a two party system...to whom do you appeal to that is not stacked in a bias manner????

Ann Franklin's avatar

I don’t know … lawyers… someone… it’s illegal!

Allison Beckler's avatar

It’s your life if you let it be. Never give up and never give in!!!

Sandrews's avatar

North Carolinian here. a military family all my life…Allison Riggs is the rightful winner!!

Susan Raquel's avatar

If you go to Next Door in N. Carolina maybe you can post about this there. I tried; but, it posted to my local Next Door.

Susan Raquel's avatar

This article has a little bit more information about the votes. This is so unjust. I'm not one to wish my life away, it's getting shorter by the day anyway, but I do wish it was mid-term election time so the Democrats could get the House and Senate back. If I see any McDonald coupons I'm going to send them to Trump and try to hurry him along.

Also, if anyone posts on Craigslist. I went to N. Carolina, then to Raleigh and posted in the community section. There are 7 or 8 cities listed. I don't know which ones were targeted. Maybe others can post in the community - politics in the other cities.

Lyn's avatar

Start protesting and get the names on that list let them know or ask people to check their vote was counted!!

Katellw's avatar

I want to know who allowed them to cull 60-65,00 votes and on what grounds?

Katellw's avatar

I didn’t realize our North Carolina Supreme Court was made up of five Republicans to one democrat… I guess they are trying to make themselves completely (R)and partisan.Doesn’t sound very legal does it?

Cheryl Williams's avatar

It's 5 Republicans to 2 Democrats, counting Allison Riggs. She, of course, has recused herself from any discussions of this case so that makes it 5 to 1. North Carolina is so gerrymandered that it is difficult for a Democrat to win most elections.

Ellen CW's avatar

That is sad and it angers me at the same time 💯🤦‍♀️

Katellw's avatar

Me too. I thought we were more evolved than this.

Yvonne Hughes's avatar

and the Lunatic-in-Chief is helping things along, sadly! #UNFITFOROFFICE

John McNaught's avatar

Your Honor as a proud Air Force veteran I apologize for the lack of political honesty in our country. John Roberts and the Federalist Society are destroying the Leagal system in our country. I am 74y/o and my parents were friends with a few judges here in the Pacific Northwest as were my paternal grandparents. In their time most judges in our area of this country were apolitical because of respect for the voters.

David A Pitock's avatar

That is the why of the magas not wanting her elected, fair voting demographics . Undoing the gerrymandering of NC. Same with the Winsconsin supreme court vote and why

Muskrat was trying to buy the election = gerrymandering

Sally Skellington's avatar

This is why trump loves N.C. so much. Are y'all going to stand for this?

Gina's avatar

We are protesting and volunteering and getting loud and donating to Riggs in NC. I wish I could share my images from the Griffin protest held a few weeks ago.

Patricia Turcotte's avatar

It sure doesn't sound representative of the country 🙄

KunoichiWarrior's avatar

They don’t want to lose. Period.

Aleggra James's avatar

They did lose. Riggs needs a strong law firm behind her. If she can’t find one in North Carolina, I’m wondering if she can get representation from out of state? She needs the most powerful lawyers she can find. Our democracy depends on it.

Linda's avatar

Wonder if she does what Trump did to get law firms bro bono….

Sally Skellington's avatar

They are going to lose, people are fed up! Finally opening their eyes to see what is happening. Right from wrong, good vs bad. Guilty is evil.

Donna Thomson's avatar

I pray you are right, but then there is Florida...Valimont and Weil both lost! Boggles the mind.

Linda's avatar

Many wealthy live in Florida unfortunately but they too will feel the hurt to their portfolios…Just maybe they will start to support Dems…Lord knows there’s way too much Republicans here and that’s probably why Trump moved there…

Yvonne Hughes's avatar

AND.... let's not forget the reason Trump changed from Democrat to Republican..... he said that Republicans would be stupid enough to vote for him! A truer word was never uttered from the mouth of the Liar-in-Chief!

Zin Lackey's avatar

Exactly. What is their justification?

Katellw's avatar

There is none. Describing their decision as having made a mistake in the beginning? You better believe higher politics has a hand in this. There is no non-partisan Supreme Court in North Carolina.

Karen's avatar

She’s standing up to a bully. That’s what the MAGA world needs— everyone standing up to them.

Chris Burgess's avatar

There isn't much I can do as a Canadian citizen 🇨🇦 but this is outrageous and makes a complete mockery of your electoral system 🤬 There is "NOTHING" these brainwashed corrupt maggot Republican cult members won't do to steal the election and screw up your country.

Allison Beckler's avatar

But you all are! You aren’t letting it take hold. Every little bit helps.

Ms. H's avatar

Is North Carolina just another Florida?

Artemis's avatar

No because we actually made the right choice in terms of governor. We picked the boring competent candidate over a Nazi. Also our republican senator Thom tillis barely won his reelection. Luckily for him his opponent Cal Cunningham got caught up in a cheating scandal. So now we’re actually turning more purple in some countries. Democrats won the majority of the local elections in my county. We got a large influx of voters from California and Arizona that are turning our state more blue

Ms. H's avatar

Well thank you to my state of California for helping turn other states more democratic but what is going on with these ballots being tossed out:

“New court decision in a disputed North Carolina race means 65,000 votes are a step closer to be being thrown out”

Artemis's avatar

Exactly let’s hope they help us get Tillis out for good. He gives the illusion that he’s more moderate but the truth is he’s a corporate puppet that has no problem voting in favor of big business over his constituents.

Ms. H's avatar

Tillis is a pansy ass douche

Gina's avatar

Tillis is disgusting. He is trying to get lots of soundbites appearing to do the right thing but he only votes for MAGA. We do not know who will run against him yet in 2026. Whoever it will be I hope they get their name out there soon so they can start calling him on his lies and inaction.

Sally Skellington's avatar

Curious what county are you?

Zin Lackey's avatar

Somewhat. Certainly the old guard is alive and well here. But many of us are blue and I’m fortunate enough to live in a predominantly blue pocket.

Ms. H's avatar

Thank goodness the country has you good people in No. Carolina. Let’s turn your state blue!

Gina's avatar

We are purple maybe even blue/purple in NC. The corrupt MAGA GOP has gerrymandered the voting districts to make it impossible for for any one but MAGA to win. The voters being hurt are POC.

Ms. H's avatar

Sorry to hear this. Gerrymandering needs to be outlawed - it’s become a tool for abuse these days

Tina's avatar

This is fkg cheating and it HAS TO STOP!

Linda Koch's avatar

This is beyond outrageous! So much for the courts (at least in NC—for now!) standing up for the PEOPLE and our CONSTITUTION!🤬

Cheryl Williams's avatar

They ruled against Allison Riggs today.

Sally Skellington's avatar

Typical controlling N.C. men. 🤬💩

Bonita Johnson's avatar

What can the people of North Carolina do about this? My vote should count! We have a democratic governor and lieutenant governor yet the republicans have rendered them powerless since they hold all other elected seats. I checked the list by county and I’m not one of the 65,000 votes in question but not many people will do what I did to check. This is just another awful thing happening in North Carolina. I’m so sad 😞

Sally Skellington's avatar

Contact ALL your congress officials. Call, write, do what ever it takes. Check out 5 calls.

Laura❤️♓️'s avatar

Glad you covered this! Marc Elias had mentioned it in an email yesterday. They can’t get away with cheating the voters of NC or they will take things further in next election! I’ll spread the word to the best of my ability! 💪🏻🌹

North Carolinians need to put pressure on the court as well as their Congressional leaders. Spreading the word can help Justice Riggs situation get noticed around the country and help her get support.

Gretchen Minney's avatar

Don’t vote for Republicans. They are don’t care about you.

Bob Falcey's avatar

Trump is the clown that keeps people’s attention with his clown show and golfing weekends at Mar a Largp, while project 2025 chips away at America and destroying our Constitution and our way of life. MAGA and project 2025 want’s a rich, white America that will have lower class citizens as their slaves. People really believed the lieing bastard trump when he said” I don’t know anything about, project 2025 and I will lower prices on day one, stop the war in Ukraine, lower taxes, and rebuild our economy. If you thought he wouldn’t lie to you; well now your getting your just desserts for his bullshit dinner

patti smith's avatar

I could never respect anyone who knows about the January 6 insurrection and would still vote for this vicious liar. And if they aren't familiar with that day then they have been living in a cave.]

AMS's avatar

We are a country of innocent until proven guilty-why doesn’t this apply to voting. The burden of proof should be on those claiming certain votes are invalid. EVERY vote should count until you PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that a vote shouldn’t count and give explicit reasons (not concerns) then give the voter an opportunity to remedy or defend their vote. Only then should a vote not count.

patti smith's avatar

And there's NO defense for tossing that many votes!

Lora Phoenix's avatar

Oh hell not! We must do everything in our power to support Justice Riggs. Also, in view of these attempts to undermine her fair and democratic victory, why don't we call for a comprehensive physical recount of the 2024 Presidential Election ballots to clarify REAL irregularities?

Furthermore, we must subpoena all evidence related to the so-called “assassination attempt” on July 13, which was poorly staged and tragically cost lives. Their underhanded tactics to steal Justice Riggs’s seat must be exposed, along with the other disgraceful lies and crimes they have committed.

Dee Joy's avatar

Absolutely true. Please see Vigilante Inc documentary that reveals how over 4 million votes were lost in 2024 due to voter suppression. Also Election Truth Alliance has evidence the election was rigged by musk for trump to win. They're all criminals. All they do is lie cheat and steal

Dennis W.'s avatar

This is so sad... how the Republicans/Conservatives Maga Cultists really are destroying everything that the U.S. stands for. Even our U.S. Supreme Court Justices (the six conservatives)you can't trust them. They have become disastrous in not follow the rule of law if you will. I truly hope Justice Riggs will win this ordeal.

Terry's avatar

They are. With all their lying, I don't understand how they sleep at night. How their stomachs aren't twisted up in knots. That guy knows he lost. Judge Griffin knows Justice Riggs won, fair and square. He knows this, not just once, but 3 times. Yet he continues to lie. They want him on their supreme court in N. Carolina? That's beyond cringe. To think there's a judge in N. Carolina with no sense of what the law is, is mind numbing. People enter that have done something against the law, and that guy, that judge sentenced them? How moronic.
