#BREAKING: In NC Supreme Court race, Griffin has wrongly accused at least 30 voters of never residing in NC, including 22 with a history of in-person voting. With court action imminent, I pulled an all-nighter to bring you this paywall-free story. #ncpol
1/4 Not sure who this may help or bring comfort to, but I wanted to share this: In July 2018 outside a Sacramento, California, DMV office, I met Tyré Nichols. He had been waiting 6+ hours in miserable 98-degree heat...
Some major drama is shaking out in NC's gubernatorial race. Sources tell me a CNN story is forthcoming. Robinson's two campaign events today in Vance and Warren counties have been cancelled. Robinson's closest advisers & Robinson himself aren't taking my calls for comment. #ncpol
#BREAKING: Source familiar w/ forthcoming CNN story says revelations about Robinson include him saying things in online chats about liking transgender porn, peeping inside women’s locker rooms while he studied at NC A&T and wanting to own slaves. #ncpoltheog.io/goto?url=https…
BREAKING: U.S. District Court Judge Richard Myers orders the NC State Board of Elections to certify a 734-vote win for Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs and rejects all of Griffin's election protests. Judge stays order for one week so Griffin may appeal. #ncpol
In 2020, the Dem who lost by 401 votes conceded after 2nd recount (39 days post-election)
In 2024, the Republican losing by 734 voters hasn't conceded and is trying to toss out more than 60K votes through a conservative court 63 days post-election.
These aren't the same. #ncpol
I've seen enough: Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs has just won, provided NCSBE interpretation of NC Court of Appeals ruling holds. Math is no longer there for Griffin to overcome 734-vote deficit. Still need court confirmation before 100% calling. #ncpol
#Breaking: NC elections officials have removed Mark Meadows, a former NC congressman and chief of staff to Trump, from the state's voter rolls. The State Bureau of Investigation says it is also investigating Meadows for "potential voter fraud." @WRAL
3/ I'm hoping this could bring comfort to those who knew him well or didn't know him at all but are impacted by the situation in Memphis. I'll remember him as an upbeat and remarkably patient young man, despite navigating a difficult circumstance. May his memory be a blessing.
NEWS: Trump has a big turnout problem in western North Carolina, and it's not just Buncombe County. An #AndersonAlerts analysis shows GOP turnout lagging in most #Helene counties. Meanwhile, Dems in Helene counties are exceeding statewide turnout. #ncpoltheog.io/goto?url=https…
I have a strong sense of what the news will be, but until sources speak on record and/or on background, I can't share what it is. Reminder: Ballots are set to begin going out to NC voters tomorrow, so the timing is important here for supporters and critics of Robinson. #ncpol
2/ His story and those of others that day was the first of what would become 40ish articles from me holding the California DMV accountable for their actions. Nichols unknowingly contributed to setting in motion a series of stories that would better the lives of many Californians.
