1. Nice!

2. The Headline Scared The Crap Out Of Me...

In my head, I was reading it as a loss for us citizens here in NC rather than a loss for the GOPigs in the NC legislature. Whew! Major sigh of relief.

20. Wait! Where's Little Madison Going To Run?

Maybe for mayor of Krasnodar?

22. He's Filed To Run In A New District...

A tRump appointed Federal judge said a federal law that pardoned Civil War rebels overrode the 14th Amendment section that bars insurrectionists and traitors from serving as elected officials, and so, kicked the lawsuit that sought to have him disqualified from the ballot.

Based on the faulty logic that a law overrides a constitutional amendment, I don't think we've heard the last of this case.

26. He sure doesn't want to run in 14 now.

Jeff Jackson would bury him. In 2020 Jackson’s district was gerrymandered by NCGOP to +5 Republicans and he still won by 5%.

3. Marc Elias for Sainthood......

He and his team of dedicated Lawyers are fighting the GOOD fight to save Democracy.

We need to make sure they have enough funds to continue.

9. I currently live in what will be the most competitive district

but I am moving to a district that will have a slight Democratic edge. This is a wonderful map.

[Carlitos Brigante]

10. I'm in shock!! nt

[cilla4progress]

11. Is Elias that good

or are the R cases that bad??

[Pinback]

15. Both. It's like Bucks-era Kareem

against, well, me.


I would pity these fools if they weren’t so evil. May the odds never be in their favor.

12. Oddly enough, I think the conservative leaning of the USSC helped us on this...

If we grant that the court leans "conservative" but not necessarily partisan republican in some cases, I think this is one.

If you have a strong "states' rights" bent, it makes it more difficult for the Federal judiciary to override and state court decision involving voting regulation and adherence to the state constitution.

Regardless of why, this is a win.

[Bettie]

13. That it was 4-3 really bothers me though

as well as Alito saying he's not sure if state supreme courts have that authority.

14. Just donated to Democracy Docket again!

Thank you, Marc Elias and team!

[orangecrush]

16. KICK

[liberalla]

17. Alright! That's fantastic! I had been worried about this one.

[onecaliberal]

18. This is where my donations are going.

Big win
