all the things that made liberals gasp about hyde-smith are unambiguously good and attractive for most white mississippians, even if they don’t always necessarily like it being aired out in the national media. it’s the blackest state in the nation so their primary concern is maintaining white supremacy above all else. insert that lbj quote

the currently unconstitutional nc board of elections has declined to certify the 9th district race, which the republican won by about 900 votes

http://www.wfae.org/post/nc-elections-board-declines-certify-9th-district-race-after-member-cites-unfortunate-activities#stream/0

quote:

The vice chair of the board, Joshua Malcolm, said he would no longer “turn a blind eye” to what he called “unfortunate activities.” Malcolm, a Democrat, dropped a bombshell.

“I’m very familiar with the unfortunate activities that have happened in my part of the state," Malcolm said during the meeting. "And I am not going to turn a blind eye to what took place to the best of my understanding, which has been ongoing for a number of years, and which has been repeatedly referred to the United States attorney and the district attorneys to clean up. Those things have not taken place.”

Malcolm did not elaborate after making that statement. The board went into session and then declined to certify the results. It cited a state statute that allows the board to “take any action to ensure that an election is determined “without taint of fraud or corruption and without irregularities.”

is NC the state that attempted to strip the governor of all his power when the republican lost, and attempted to establish a partisan elections council which would swap parties every election season, with the republican session occurring during every presidential election year

Don't forget they commissioned a study with the stated goal of figuring out how blacks vote, and then they tried to ban all the things that increased black turnout.

uhh idk it's probably corrupt as all gently caress!

to be honest tho it's a super gerrymandered district, what I meant is that it includes my hometown and where my parents live but they live in a super small rural (but blue due to being mostly nonwhite) town inside of a district that includes parts of Charlotte and Fayetteville also although that maybe means that most of the voter suppression was done where they live lol

This article is partially about the corruption in the sheriff's office where my parents live, and the author of this article apparently was staying at my house when he wrote it!! I don't remember though because I was 9.

http://www.maryellenmark.com/text/magazines/gq/906S-000-006.html


There was some Sherriff Joe type indimidation done to people I think but I don't remember the specifics

Anyway that doesn't really have to do with the election but that's the insight I can give about the general corruption level of robeson county NC

How do they even pass "bi-partisan" laws when the DNC and RNC are private organizations and not officially the two main political parties?
