- a few times now in the last decade state Republican parties have walked right up to the line of overturning elections and then stopped this time they went notably further than they ever have before the norms are still holding but it's getting scary out there
- RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Republican challenger concedes a 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court election to the Democratic incumbent.
- I would be curious @gregdoucette.bsky.social read but I wonder if the money just was not there to fund the appeals needed to continue the fight?
- They have unlimited money, that's not it Their issue is the 4th Circuit is still 9 D - 6 R, and its opinions become binding precedent By giving up now, the state Court of Appeals + Supreme Court opinions are binding for future election-overturning efforts. Trial court rulings are non-precedential
- So basically they're locking in the bullshit that came from the state Supreme Court for future shenanigans
