Absurd ruling

By this logic basically every law from 1860 to 1960 in NC is void.

Im pretty sure even the 6-1 D NC SC will strike this down.

I wouldn't say "usually." But sometimes being rare actually makes it even more satisfying!

If the maps are redrawn and 2020 is a wave, I'd say they have a shot in 2020. Otherwise, if Trump wins reelection, I'd say 2022 (assuming, again, maps are fair). If a Democrat wins the White House, maybe 2024. I'm not sure they would flip it in a Dem midterm since 2022 would be a drag on downballot Democrats.

Nonetheless, this is still cause for celebration if you ask me. NC Democrats had few if any prospects just 2.5 years ago, and now they are already regaining their footing and have basically retaken the judiciary in a big way.

I'm going to translate Berry's statement as "I do NOT want to wear out my welcome, would rather go out on top."

Who will the NC Dems & NC GOPers put up candidates to replace her ?

From Dallas Woodhouse's wikipedia page: "Dallas Woodhouse (born 1972/73) is an American political operative based in North Carolina. He has been the Executive Director of the North Carolina Republican Party since October 2015. He is a liar and a crook."

Dallas Woodhouse stepping down as Executive Director of the NCGOP:

https://www.wral.com/woodhouse-to-step-down-as-nc-gop-director/18327447/

Quote
"My contract expires at the end of the state convention. With the election of a new State Chair, and after four challenging years, a tenure longer than most in this post, I am moving on," Woodhouse said in a text to WAL News.

Woodhouse has been a vocal representative for the GOP in North Carolina in recent years, championing the party's legislative agenda and roundly criticizing Democrats at every turn. His departure will leave a leadership void in the party, which will host the 2020 Republican National Convention in 16 months.

At this point, I think North Carolina is going to be my favorite state to watch elections for in 2020. If the maps get redrawn, Democrats have some real opportunities for 2020 and beyond. Not to mention the slew of executive office races.

Not to mention how delightful it would be to see someone like Dan Forest lose.

But here's why Republicans and Republican voters aren't racist.

Lmao how did a state party in a swing state get to be so crazy? At least the CA/VA GOP stands no chance regardless of what they do. The NC GOP has to be the worst state party in a competitive state.

Laughs. Lived in North Carolina all my life up until 2012. Democrats ran the state continuously for more or less 130 years essentially unchallenged. Back in the middle of Easley's governorship, you had Meg Scott Phipps, you had assorted shenanigans in the state legislature where the R's actually won more seats one election but a crisis was orchestrated to keep the speaker D, Easley's sole goal his first few years in power to get a lottery going, you had the deal with Easley's wife, and then Bev Perdue - a rotten piece of sh**t from the town next door that when I was in grade school was actively anti-certain educational programs as in she literally came to my school and wanted vocational education eliminated, and then ran for governor on an education platform. The Republicans to their credit back then due to being perennially out of power were idiots.

I used to tell people this: "here's North Carolina politics in a nutshell, the Democrats are corrupt and the Republicans are morons".

This sounds a lot like the zany claim that "Democrats were the party of slavery". Yes, in the 1860s. That was a long time ago.

The GOP has not realised that in today's world, politics is about much more than money. It undergirds every aspect of ours lives, from family to consumption to sexuality. Attacking the process of fair elections is denying the right to a fair society, which is the core belief in the US as a country. The anger will never subside.

That there were shocking shenanigans in the 1950s in North Carolina, a time of white male authority when a large chunk of the population was disenfranchised, is immaterial to today's world and does not justify anyone's actions.
"The past is a different country. They do things differently there" - LP Hartley

If that tit for tat rule applied, can you imagine what the cheating, lying, bribing GOP would deserve next time the Dems take over? That alone should give you pause before defending the Dowlesses of the world.
