What happened to having an election and abiding by the results? If there is no evident fraud or interference and they are trying to disenfranchise voters via some court fiat then the judge(s) doing this should be impeached. However I think elections have now become far more important to big business, billionaires/oligarchs and autocrats both domestic and foreign that they will do whatever is necessary to keep the "right" people in power. It has been moving this way for years but it is really coming to a head now.

We might flip the NC Supreme Court because that's how we're going to get rid of gerrymandering.

When that happens and gawd I hope it will, then we'll be able to turn the ship around.

It's the only path we have, that's close, that we can use to undo all of the crap Republicans have thrown at North Carolina citizens.
