Breaking: North Carolina Court Says 65k Ballots Can by Tossed Out | Justice Allison Riggs

"A three-judge panel in the North Carolina appeals court ruled Friday to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in the state’s Supreme Court election unless they can fix their ballots in 15 days. The decision comes from Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin’s election contest. Incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs, whose victory Griffin challenged, joins Marc Elias to discuss what it means."

GUEST: Sec. of State Adrian Fontes , "This is a disaster for our #democcracy'

Trump's Latest Attack Will Disenfranchise Millions

#Arizona Secretary of State #AdrianFontes joins Marc to discuss #OrangeFascist's latest #executiveorder targeting #elections

#VoterRepression #VoterSuppression and explains how the action will disenfranchise #voters, cause chaos and make it impossible for states to run free and fair elections.

FROM LEGAL HERO, MARC ELIAS:

"Brad Karp, the disgraced leader of Paul Weiss [legal firm], had sent an internal email justifying his firm’s capitulation [to Trump]. The letter is as pathetic as it is poorly written. But one line, in particular, caught my attention:

“But no one in the wider world can appreciate how stressful it is to confront an executive order like this until one is directed at you.”

To which I respond: Fuck you, you coward."

@heidilifeldman #DemocracyDocket and #HighCountryNews both look interesting - thanks!

I try to tune out the noise that these revolutionary rulers are producing by reading about the USA only on one day every week. This new reality is difficult enough to digest, and I can't handle that more often without losing hope (which is what they want to achieve).

My assumption is this propaganda shock-wave won't last forever, just like propaganda took a break for a few short years after the 1st WW.

Signs of Hope…
“…the GOP wants to portray Trump as an all-powerful president imposing his will on a fearful and dispirited govt.…

“However,…[t]he reality is that govt workers are standing up. And he is losing most of the lawsuits challenging his illegal actions. Plaintiffs, their lawyers & federal judges are not backing down. Instead, they are upholding the rule of law.”—#MarcElias, #democracydocket members’ email, 03/01/25

Last week [2/17–21/2025], “Trump’s full-scale assault of democracy continued.

“This flood the zone approach….has made it impossible to also pay attn to the devpts that…are part of a longer range plan to undermine free & fair elections….

“.…[H]is plan to move the USPS to the Commerce Dept.…will give him the power to throttle or end…the ability of citizens to vote by mail.”—#MarcElias, #democracydocket email newsletter, 2/20/25

“Democracy Forward filed a motion Wed to seek limited, expedited discovery in its lawsuit to block Department of Govt Efficiency (DOGE) access to sensitive Dept of Labor info.

“Should the court grant the motion, it would be the first lawsuit against DOGE where the plaintiffs are able to obtain evidence, albeit limited, on how Elon Musk’s faux agency is operating within the federal govt.”

#Trump wants “to restructure & restaff the fed govt so that it is loyal to him & him alone. This requires breaking systems that worked.…

“Next, he must discredit the 2 remaining institutions that impose accountability on his actions. 1st, he needs to undermine judicial independence & respect for court orders. 2nd, he must destroy the integrity of elections & allow him the power to declare who won and who lost.”
