... Even if Robinson were to withdraw from the governor's race Thursday, it is probably too late to remove his name from the ballot, because absentee ballots have already been printed, said Karen Brinson Bell, who leads the State Board of Elections.

An additional complication, she said, is that overseas and military ballots are scheduled to go out Friday, as required by federal law. It would take about two weeks and cost more than $1 million to reprint ballots, Bell said.

"As the chief election officer, I know where we are in this process," Bell said. "To remove a name from the ballot at this time would be an insurmountable hurdle." ...

"for the sake of Donald Trump's victory in North Carolina, I think Mark Robinson needs to drop out"

Given that MAGA is already so viciously infradig, I can't wait to hear what this new scandal could be.

How many dogs and cats did Mark Robinson eat?

Boaz is going to vote for Mark Robinson, twice.

Robinson has had "TRAIN WRECK" stenciled across his forehead for quite some time. He's gawd fearing, seems to like money a lot, takes naturally to the grift, and displays all manner of sex-related phobias and hangups. Plus he appears to be stark, raving mad. So if there's anything to this it could be a doozy.

#1,

Our sate supreme court in NC is a wing of the republican party and even though the state BOE objected to removing RFK at the very last minute the court made them. Don't be surprised if they don't care what the BOE says.

@#5 ... Don't be surprised if they don't care what the BOE says. ...

I do not disagree.

My view at this point is that the Trump campaign, and its surrogates, are planning to toss as much confusion and delay into the tallying of votes on Election Day that the outcome may be handed to the House for resolution.

...Just damn...

So he's the Republican Presidential candidate in 2028?

"Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina,made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website's message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a "black NAZI!" and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found."

So just a regular MAGAt. Other than the "Black" part, I mean.

""I like watching tranny on girl porn!" he reportedly wrote. "That's f---ing hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in! And yeah I'm a perv' too!"" www.thedailybeast.com

He makes some good points...

"Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few,"

I suspect that most African Americans in NC would prefer Stepin Fetchit to this fool Robinson. For his puppet masters on the Right, this fool is as good as any other fool, so long as they can control him...

#14 | Posted by catdog at 2024-09-19 04:41 PM

What he's being accused of will simply further endear him to the MAGA cult.

#15 | Posted by Whatsleft at 2024-09-19 04:42 PM

I recant my #3 and apologize to Boaz.

He has stated he's not voting for Mark Robinson.

An email address belonging to North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson was registered on Ashley Madison, a website designed for married people seeking affairs.

That guy's political career is toast, even in gerrymandered North Carolina. Wow.

Robinson was clearly bad news from the start. Just like you know who. And Gaetz and Kennedy (the Louisiana one), MTG, Boebert, and on and on.

Why is it that the most rude, hateful, obnoxious cretins always seem to have an (R) behind their name these days?

The malodorous orange pedo compared Robinson to MLK.

Huge endorsement for dotard.

You'd figure his career would have been over after the adamant pro-lifer admitted he paid for an abortion for his girlfriend (now-wife). But nope.

#23 | Posted by censored at 2024-09-19 05:37 PM

This guy deserves what he gets. He's a holocaust denier too.

#24 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2024-09-19 05:38 PM

Mark Robinson says all the allegations in the CNN story are false, he is the victim of a high-tech lynching like Clarence Thomas, and he is not dropping out.

#25 | Posted by Gal_Tuesday at 2024-09-19 05:39 PM

Great news! He's going down like the Titanic.

MAGA has no values. Their behavior is so much easier to understand when you know this.

... CNN said that it verified that Robinson made the newly unearthed comments under the username "minisoldr" through both his comments and profile, which offered details that aligned with his personal background, including his name, age, location and marriage details.

- - - The minisoldr name is also one Robinson used on other websites, such as YouTube, Amazon and Pinterest.

- - - Furthermore, Robinson publicly used uncommon phrases minisoldr did, including "gag a maggot" and "I don't give a frogs ass," per CNN.

- - - Robinson alleged a sophisticated campaign to discredit him, blaming his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, who he said "leaked" the story. Robinson said he will remain in the race. ...

Should give the Harris campaign a nice boost in NC at just the right time.

He'll still get the votes of "Christians" who think it's "fake news" and/or love hateful comments and kinky porn.

#29 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY at 2024-09-19 07:01 PM

Trump has praised him on the campaign trail, including recently at an rally last month in Asheboro, North Carolina.

"Good luck. Mark's got to win. He's got to win. Got to win. He's a good man," Trump added.

And in March, in a speech at the National Rifle Association conference, Trump called Robinson "Dr. Martin Luther King on steroids."

"That's how good you are. You are unbelievable as a speaker," Trump said of Robinson. "And he got up and he's doing fantastically well in North Carolina. And I think he's going to be the next governor of North Carolina."

Minisoldr is an interesting handle for a guy who acts like a big, tough alpha male. Seems like the kind of handle someone with a very specific and submissive kink might use.

#31 | Posted by cbob at 2024-09-19 07:07 PM

Other comments that Robinson reportedly made on the platform include calling Martin Luther King Jr. a "commie bastard" and "worse than a maggot," detailing his pornography preferences and recalling peeping on a women's locker room while in high school.

I think he's named his Johnson.
