For those of us in the great state of North Carolina, there is news on the battle for the Supreme Court. In case you missed it, the republican “lost” by about 750 “votes” but claims some 60,000 ballots are illegitimate (they are). It’s been working it’s way through the courts and will eventually wind up in the state Supreme Court where republicans hold a 6-2 advantage. If Judge Griffins appeal is upheld it will become a 7-1 advantage and this just before statewide reapportionment lines are drawn.
