Federal Judge Won't Let Republicans Overturn Election

However, Myers has put his own order on hold for seven days to give Griffin a chance to appeal.

The court ruled that this omission, which affected over 60,000 of the challenged voters, was likely not the voters' fault and therefore could not be used to cancel their ballots.

When Republicans took control of the elections board last week for the first time in nearly a decade,

omission
not the voters' fault
Republicans took control of the elections board last week for the first time in nearly a decade
(so, dem control of the election board resulted in 'omissions')

Eschew secondary sources!

Democracy only works if the people are educated, both as to how things work and to how others think and what their needs are. Problem is, the most educated hate Trump.
As it is, the Republican Party of today is dedicated to weakening our international relationships, strengthening the groups who hate, and allying the hate with the rich to try and stay in power as a minority party.

presented an unconstitutional burden

The magat wing of the GCCCP doesn't give a ---- about the constitution other than their poorly understood interpretation of the 2nd amendment.

The repug --------- finally conceded.

People like Republican Jefferson Griffin need to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

in context:

A state law had authorized these persons to vote in state elections. While these people had no substantive right to have their votes counted, Myers wrote, there is "sufficient evidence" that some people are mistakenly on the list and have no opportunity to contest their ineligibility, which "represents a unconstitutional burden on the right to vote."

Griffin wanted Myers to leave undisturbed the state courts' decisions, which also directed that most of the voters with otherwise ineligible ballots get 30 days to provide identifying information for their race choices to remain in the tally.

The problem registrations resulted from a decade of dem control of the election board, because dems set rules to stack the deck in their favor and they "doesn't give a ---- about the constitution other than their poorly understood interpretation of the 2nd amendment."

The takeaway here I can see, is that some ballots were indeed not compliant, but fixing them retroactively is decided to be a problem. Next time, maybe don't let dems control your election board, because they don't do a good job and later will claim victim status.

More from that link...

... In his ruling, Myers noted that the state had approved an exemption to the ID requirement for military and overseas voters that was in place for months before the election, but was never challenged until after.

He also noted that Griffin only challenged these votes in six of North Carolina's 100 counties, all of which lean Democratic.

"When the underlying basis for a protest is a rule that applies statewide, a geographically selective protest raises equal protection concerns and the specter of post-election mischief," Myers wrote. ...

I agree, the dems entire argument is based on technicalities, some of which they manufactured themselves as controllers of the state election board for nearly a decade.

"Next time, maybe don't let dems control your election board, because they don't do a good job and later will claim victim status."

The Republican is the one claiming Victim Status.
Being a Victim is what Republicans do best.

The Republican is the one claiming Victim Status.

Oh, you mean the Republican that proved in state court that ineligible ballots were counted? is the one claiming Victim Status?
And was defeated by a fed judge, NOT IN HIS LANE*, because the poor noncompliant voters were burdened by requirements which were in place but not enforced at the time of voting, because dem control of election board, were NOT set as 'victims'?

* I learned here, from dems, that STATES are in control of their elections NOT THE FED. How many times have you used that argument yourself?

@#16 ... the dems entire argument is based on technicalities ...

Yup.

Like the major technicality of the Republicans apparently changing the rules for voting after the election had taken place, and applying those changes to mainly Democratic areas of the state?

If the Republicans didn't like the rules, why did they wait until after the election to challenge them? My guess would be that the change made after the election, and narrowly applied to mainly Democratic areas, was the only way they could find to rig the outcome of the election.

"Oh, you mean the Republican that proved in state court that ineligible ballots were counted? is the one claiming Victim Status?"

That's the one!
The Republican Loser is claiming Victim Status.

... "This case concerns whether the federal Constitution permits a state to alter the rules of an election after the fact and apply those changes retroactively to only a select group of voters, and in so doing treat those voters differently than other similarly situated individuals," he wrote.

"This case is also about whether a state may redefine its class of eligible voters but offer no process to those who may have been misclassified as ineligible.

"To this court, the answer to each of those questions is no.'" ...

-I don't know why I bother, sometimes. I already know you're a sealion and no amount of repetition will suffice. There were ineligible votes involved per your pet judge who left his lane to get involved and thwart the state supreme court, why they didn't fix it earlier I can't say. Probably has something to do with strategic incompetence of democrats in control of the election board, perhaps concentrating their efforts in particular districts.

The dems still have only 2 judges even with her installed, so it doesn't matter so much as that now, due to the attention, the election board under their new management can clean up the rolls and make sure everybody plays fair before the next election.

Literally every thing this foaming fool says is about democrats is actually about republicans.

Lets start listing his past aliases. I recognize his raving but it's been too long for me to put my finger on it.

@#29 ... So why did you feel the need to do so? ....

Just look at that current alias' comments.

Your question is asked and answered.

Comments that seem to be more disruptive than contributory.

MAGA math strikes again

#13 | Posted by chiligordo

Dems huh?

"Relevant to those voters, North Carolina's General Assembly enacted a voter identification ("ID") law in 2018, and after years oflitigation, that law took effect in 2023. But the law has never been applied to overseas military and civilian voters who cast absentee ballots. The North Carolina Board of Elections (the "State Board"), on a bipartisan and unanimous basis, exempted those voters from the voter ID law; on April 1, 2024, the State Board, pursuant to its rulemaking authority under state law, promulgated a final rule which provided that overseas military and civilian voters were not required to submit a copy of their photo ID with their absentee ballot. An identical temporary administrative rule had already been in effect for eight months before promulgation of the final rule. "

Bipartisan, Unanimous decision by the Elections Board over a year ago
Never challenged in Court or by the Legislature or Governor

Facts don't care about your feelings, MAGAt.

-It's not so simple.
-That's fine for those votes, but there are also these:

-Also these:
Griffin wanted Myers to leave undisturbed the state courts' decisions, which also directed that most of the voters with otherwise ineligible ballots get 30 days to provide identifying information for their race choices to remain in the tally.

-Already dropped at the state level were these:
While Griffin initially challenged over 65,000 ballots, the number of votes in contention was significantly reduced by the Republican-dominated North Carolina Supreme Court last month when it rejected his largest challenge, which dealt with voters who didn't have certain identifying numbers in the state's registration database. The court ruled that this omission, which affected over 60,000 of the challenged voters, was likely not the voters' fault and therefore could not be used to cancel their ballots.

-So whose fault was it, this omission?

When Republicans took control of the elections board last week for the first time in nearly a decade

-I see, WHO was in charge of doing the registrations then? The registrations featuring this omission which affected over 60,000 registrations? THE DEMS WHO HAD CONTROL OF THE ELECTION BOARD FOR TEN YEARS? Gee I wonder if there's a pattern to these omissive entries, like, say.. CONCENTRATED IN HEAVY DEM DISTRICTS?
