North Carolina Supreme Court Strikes Down GOP-Drawn Congressional Map.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/0 ... n-00005974.
North Carolina's state Supreme Court handed Democrats one of their biggest legal victories yet in the fight over redistricting, striking down a GOP-drawn congressional map that could have given Republicans control of 11 of the state’s 14 districts.
In a ruling released Friday evening, the justices split 4-3 along party lines in deeming the current map an illegal partisan gerrymander that is “unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt.” The state Supreme Court gave the General Assembly until Feb. 18 to submit a new redistricting proposal to the court — or a trial court will approve a new plan.
The decision is a resounding win for Democrats — and the latest sign yet that their legal strategy is equalizing the House battlefield and giving them a check over Republicans in several key states. It's left Democratic operatives optimistic that they will emerge from redistricting in 2022 in better shape than they had expected, despite controlling fewer state legislatures and governorships than the GOP.

Look at you crying about open mindedness while your people are trying to overturn elections, banning books, banning people from sports and restrooms, banning entire religions, threatening school boards, shooting up schools, and plotting to kidnap and kill a governor, all while thinking it’s their natural right to spread deadly disease.
Nice try changing the subject, but the headline of the post you answered and neglected to click on is Georgia county purges Democrats from election board and cancels Sunday voting.
Where is your consternation about oh my goodness cancel culture? No normal person is open-minded towards election board purges and canceling elections.
Dunno about anyone else but I am DEFINITELY, PROUDLY as close-minded as possible towards destructive white conservatism.
Like the Nazis, you guys and your xenophobic policies are the most violent political and social force in this country’s history, and you control one of two main parties. Unlike them, you guys pre-date the interwar period by at least a hundred years, depending on when you wanna start the clock.
And try to form, just like a good astroturfed foot soldier, you actually believe liberals are to be “open minded” towards yet another form of white-supremacist vote suppression. Next, you’ll be telling us we should have been more grateful for three hits and a cot.

Yes we aren't for open borders or illegal aliens
Nobody is banning books just setting standards to children's libraries
As for the rest nothing more than left wing talking points. Any reply would undoubtedly be called racist.

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
Today in Donald Trump Loves the Undereducated…
Show us the left equivalent of white cons killing people just because they tried to register.
What is the left equivalent of torching whole parts of town because some Black people put a ballot in a box?
How much unchecked anti-immigrant, and pointed anti-Latino hate goes into you guys screaming about voter fraud? How long until you guys start torching fields and sweatshops like you’ve done to whole parts of town?
White-conservative political violence towards a free vote is legendary. Jan. 6th is just one more instance of it. Georgia purging election boards and canceling Sunday voting is just the kinder, gentler version of it.
But according to your white supremacism, we’re all supposed to be open minded to every violent anti-democracy whim of conservative whites.
All your so-called standards are just low bars of intolerance and xenophobia.
Speaking of “racist,” you guys have been steadily attacking the very idea of Black voting by using the government and outright physical violence since Reconstruction.
So keep this in mind the next time you think to trot out that tired old change.org link: random internet petition is in no way comparable to Jan. 6th, instigated by a sitting President, and there’s no way to compare it to what’s in the headline you skipped over in favor of crying victimhood: Georgia county purges Democrats from election board and cancels Sunday voting
Show us the left equivalent of Jan. 6th, where you guys tried to overturn an entire national election with political violence and murder.
Show us the left equivalent of white cons killing people just because they tried to register.

It’s fitting that you’d toss out this old canard regarding voting.Yes we aren't for open borders or illegal aliens

Let's hear it for taking babies away from their Mothers at gun point Glenn. Let's hear for children who will never see their birth parent again Glenn. Let's hear it children were trafficked Glenn.
No person is illegal. No human being is illegal. All you are doing is dehumanizing human being, you know one those many created by YOUR Mythical/Mystical/Magical Non-Existent Skyman.
Where are YOUR so-called "Christan Values" on that Glenn. What crime does a baby commit that warrents their forceful separation from his/her mother.
These people are NOT "Aliens" they are human beings.

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
The left has NEVER attempted to overturn a free and fair election. The left has never had a candidate who refused to concede and plotted to remain in office. Or ordered the base to attack the Capital. The fact that you defend an attempted coup and try to draw a ridiculous false equivalency is really pathetic and sad. You don't care about democracy.

Re: 2022 Elections Thread
Dehumanizing a person makes so much easier to them and to kill them. Reducing your fellow humans to an object of hate means you can dispose of them. Babies stripped from their Mother's arms are no long babies, just another, "Race other than White", as people were once listed. No Race, No Identity, They Do NOT Exist. They are NOT REAL. Most importantly, THEY ARE NOT WHITE!!!!carmenjonze wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 10:55 am Labeling people "illegals" and "illegal aliens" the way he does is the conservative way of dehumanizing everyone perceived as an immigrant.

Florida Republicans propose election police force
I wish my prediction about how no red state or very few will certify any election they lose wont come true, but it will.Florida Republicans this week proposed a separate police unit dedicated to hunting voter fraud, part of new legislation that would further overhaul elections in the state.
The bill, Senate Bill 524, would create the Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Florida Department of State to vet claims of voter fraud or election irregularities before referring those claims to other law enforcement agencies for potential prosecution.
Incidents of voter fraud are incredibly rare in the U.S., and past and present investigations by law enforcement agencies around the country have struggled to find more than a handful of cases amid the millions of ballots cast in America.

February 2022 King County school levies are passing, except for one Riverview levy
Early February 2022 special election results are in here in Washington State’s most populous county, and they look good for schools and essential public services almost across the board, with only a couple of exceptions.
Although participation is low, most of the measures on the ballot do not have minimum turnout or three-fifths affirmative vote requirement because they are school levies. The threshold for passage is just a simple majority of those present and voting. And with only one exception, every levy is clearing that bar.

Republican State Senator Brian Dahle To Challenge Governor Newsom.
https://www.redding.com/story/news/poli ... 703893001/.
Republican State Senator Brian Dahle (Lassen County) has announced his campaign for Governor. Dahle is an anti-masker and farmer. Governor Newsom just beat a recall in which he received more votes than he did when he was first elected.
As it stands right now, there twice as many Registered Democrats than Republicans in California and no Republican has been elected to State-Wide office since 2006.
The essence of Dahle's campaign is that is NOT Gavin Newsom.
Newsom enters his reelection campaign with over $20,000,000.00. Dahle has $200,000.00
Governor Newsom has hours political ads in which you will see Republicans attacking him and trying to get him recalled. It did not work. Dahle has zero name recognition. No big name Republicans have announced their intention to run against Newsom.

Starting the steal?
Election-integrity watchdogs are sounding the alarm as Trump allies take control of swing states' election machinery. Here's everything you need to know.
What is the concern?
Acolytes of Donald Trump, galvanized by his false claims of voter fraud, are laying the groundwork for overturning future elections by commandeering state and county election systems. A major reason Trump failed in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election is that state and local election officials, many of them Republicans, certified the results over Trump's objections and threats. In response, Trump allies such as far-right nativist Steve Bannon have launched a campaign to replace principled officials with Trump allies, from the lowest county volunteer up to states' top election officials. Next time, the battered guardrails that held firm in 2020 might be gone, said Wendy Weiser of the Brennan Center for Justice. "This is a giant crisis," she said. "We've never seen anything like that before."
How are Trump's allies doing this?

Democrats seeking high office in battleground states this year are increasingly pitching themselves to voters as a bulwark against any efforts that Republican allies of former President Donald Trump might make to subvert the next presidential election.
The six states where President Joe Biden scored his narrowest victories — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — will all elect governors this year.

Inside McConnell's Campaign to Take Back the Senate and Thwart Trump
Inside McConnell's Campaign to Take Back the Senate and Thwart Trump
A point another poster made awhile back. Can they do it without splitting the party. It'd be a hope come true.PHOENIX — For more than a year, former President Donald Trump has berated Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona, savaging him for refusing to overturn the state’s presidential results and vowing to oppose him should he run for the Senate this year.
In early December, though, Ducey received a far friendlier message from another former Republican president. At a golf tournament luncheon, George W. Bush encouraged him to run against Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat, suggesting the Republican Party needs more figures like Ducey to step forward.
“It’s something you have to feel a certain sense of humility about,” the governor said this month of Bush’s appeal. “You listen respectfully, and that’s what I did.”
Bush and a band of anti-Trump Republicans led by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are hoping he does more than listen.
As Trump works to retain his hold on the Republican Party, elevating a slate of friendly candidates in midterm elections, McConnell and his allies are quietly, desperately maneuvering to try to thwart him.................
