If Harris can win North Carolina she can LOSE Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia yet still WIN the Electoral College with 278 EC votes.

Trump has put all his chips on manipulating the Georgia results when NC offers only 1 less electoral vote than GA does.

"So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state."

Boaz will be voting for Kamala.

He has seen the light.

I hope Boaz grows to like Kamala's toes and arches.

Frankly, I'll be happy to see her in something other than a pantsuit. I hope. Nothing kinky.

OK, I just took a quick spin through my search engine of choice, asking about NC poltics.

More questions for Robinson. Store says reported campaign purchases never happened.

... During Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's 2020 campaign, he claimed to spend $2,374 at Lake Outfitters for "campaign clothes and accessories." The five transactions, recorded on his campaign finance expenditure reports with the State Board of Elections, spanned eight months.

The owners of Lake Gaston Outfitters, located at the recorded address, say those purchases never happened.

"If you actually look at the credit card statements, it's not our business, so it was just incorrectly attributed to our business," Owner Dave Blodgett told Carolina Public Press. "We sell kayaks. ... We wouldn't have anything here in our store that he would want."

The five Lake Gaston Outfitters transactions are part of a larger investigation into Robinson's 2020 campaign for lieutenant governor. The campaign finance investigation, involving an alleged $500,000 in violations, remains ongoing three and a half years after the initial complaint by Bob Hall, campaign finance watchdog and former editor of Democracy NC. ...
