That's true. Our election was, truly, stolen. And I'm pretty sure I know how it was done. BComplex Jan 2021 #6

The gerrymandering is so bad that Democrats win something like 65% of the popular vote, yet we have just 4 or 5 of 13 representatives.

I saw Moe Davis signs everywhere, and was astounded he lost by such a wide margin. If any state's certification really ought to be questioned, it's ours.

I'm on his twitter every time he runs his mouth. I get zero smack talk in reply. Just loves and retweets.

He's my rep, and he'll hear from me about what I want. I'm vocal like that.

I hope he'll be indicted and charged, too. I hope he'll be pressured to resign in disgrace. I'll work toward it and minimizing the damage he can do. I will also track his donors and let them know EXACTLY why they will no longer have my business.

Cosplay time is over, and the grown ups are back. Party's over.

Smaller counties, clerks & helpers running through their specially made up ballots....just like what the republicans accused Democrats of doing. I wasn't sure that's what did it, until the republicans started accusing the Dems of it...and then it was certain.

I think the reason the republicans are so certain they won, is because they did this all over, and they KNOW they cheated to win....and still didn't. But in my small NC county, the elections official told a family member (who was on the republican ballot) on the SECOND DAY of early voting, that republicans already had a huge majority.

Well, we're a predominantly democratic county, but, true, a lot of dems around here haven't voted in the past, and we've occasionally had a republican representative. Also, republicans don't vote in early voting hardly ever. So how was it that our crooked head of elections in the county was able to tell my family member that the republicans were way ahead on the second day of early voting? I think this happened all across the state. I think that's what happened in Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida and Texas, too.

That's why I don't believe for one minute trump got 71 million votes.

I'm all for joining with the republicans to push for paper ballots, hand counted, and always audited.

It bothers me that not one legislator from NC spoke up against challenging the election.

This is your regular reminder that the Republican majority running the #NCGA looks nothing like most of North Carolina. It's 86% old white guys. #ncpol https://t.co/OHBPUn3adC
