After the new GOP majority on the NCSBE was sworn in this morning, they promptly fired elections director Karen Brinson Bell. Now they're spouting veiled election integrity BS, even though Brinson and the formerly Dem majority on the NCSBE unanimously certified Trump's wins in 2020 and 2024.

I hope this backfires on the NC GOP in the following years. And Boliek is going to be a top target in 2028 -- and if he loses, Dems gain back the majority on NCSBE.
Tillis won by the skin of his teeth in 2014 and 2020 in R-favorable years. With the right Dem candidate and political winds, Tillis can kiss his seat goodbye next year.
He is not invincible. And if NC voters are fed up enough, Tillis won't lose by a small amount of votes (and try to pull a Jefferson Griffin). It'll be by a number big enough that Boliek and the GOP-majority NCSBE can't contest either.
Agreed. 2014 was a shocker of a win in a landslide year bigger than expected. 2020 we ended up with a dude cheating on his wife. Trump still won the state in 2020 but we had an upper hand on the Senate race for most of the time. Tillis always done better than expected but that doesn’t mean he’s good. I can put a basketball in a hoop sometimes.
Yeah. NC GOP made Bell a punching bag for years -- all for doing her freaking job WELL. She requested to make a short speech at the NCSBE today, but they refused and promptly ended the meeting.
The way they treated her is appalling. And so, Democrats need to do the same with Francis De Luca.

Maybe we can finally breakthrough in North Carolina and win a senate seat.

I fear these kinds of things will be too inside baseball for most voters to even hear about them.
