@keltrott@ForwardCarolina Complained repeatedly to the poll judge, who did nothing. Called county election officials, nada. Tried the press in 2022, but because they didn't witness anything firsthand (and with a giant TV camera present, I wonder why), they didn't cover it.
@Becky4Wake@ErinforNC This is not a trial. No one is sending him to jail. There are well documented allegations that have been alleged. These allegations are consistent with other things Robinson has said publicly on his Facebook page.
@DOBrienATL Would love to see him pull a Jesse Chavez. Get traded by the Braves, released by the team where he was traded, and trhen come back strong. Might not be in 2024, but he's definitely one of the guys you want to see do well.
@Jake4WakeBOE Every school I've encountered still uses detention and suspension as tools. Maybe if schools were adequately funded, we would have resources to ensure that children who have behavioral problems don't disrupt classes for students who want to learn.
Hearing reports of a convoy of eight buses driving north through South Carolina on I-95 currently near Santee followed by two pickup trucks with Alachua County, FL, plates. Is this related to bussing migrants out of state?
Interesting to see that Lindsay Mahaffey crushed @steveforschools in a supposedly competitive school board election. Weβd send him a condolences card, but weβre not sure he lives in the district.
@mleiman1@LoganR2WH Yep, Obama won here in 2008 and Kay Hagan won a Senate seat. Other than Roy Cooper and Josh Stein (and a few other exceptions), Dems have struggled statewide since then.
Also if we can get Wiley Nickel and Cheri Beasley elected, we might be able to get federal protections for abortion. That 30,000 gap could make a huge difference for our state for a very long time.
I've talked to quite a few young voters who've said choice is their key issue, but turnout for 18-29 year-olds has been really low, even for a midterm election. It's important to know that if the NCGOP gets veto-proof majorities, they'll pass stricter abortion laws.
