No worries, PAB, just change your name back to Drumph.

As a North Carolinian, my first thought was "that is NOT random". Neither the list nor the process. But, I get it. They don't know until rightthen who all the candidates are. And if they had to wait for some specific deadline, and then get observers from ALL those parties to be there at a specific time to watch an actual random selection of names, that would be the definition of chicanery. Because you know someone would be late, whoever ends up last would object, etc. etc. There is no "best" way to do it! So suck it up.

This is not their first rodeo. Or BBQ. Or whatever.

My students know this. I show them my ballot every election and explain that among other things.

I notice you forgot to mention Jill Stein, who was in between the Libertarian and the Operation Rescue. Obviously you are trying to rig and stollen the election against her!

Ta, Evan. NC is beautiful (our vacation beach rental was on the Outer Banks), but I wouldn't want to live there.

What does it say about our democracy that the order in which candidates appear on the ballot affects the outcome? Are we so illiterate and/or lazy and/or short attention span having that we can't be arsed to find the candidate we want to vote for and just tick off the first name on the list?

Look, we're dumb fucking monkeys with dumb fucking monkey brain. We're only a few thousand years from living in caves. What I am saying is, we are very easy to manipulate; but manipulation is the fault of the manipulator, not the manipulated.

It's a product of our evolution, to a large degree. We are evolved for communities of no more than 150 or so. Take that mindset into a world of thousands (locally) and billions (globally), you have issues.

Are these red states No longer for the concept of "Law and Order"? Where are the Indictments for these crimes? I recall Dan Patrick claiming he would fully prosecute ANYONE found to be illegally voting. Who lost their Freedumb??

Nobody did, that's who. That's because it's made-up bullshit that they can never prove in a real court of law, especially the US Supreme Court. This is all horse-pucky and that is precisely how we all know it.

And exactly when will they start being the Party of Law and Order?? Tell us!

It's just that, to them "Law and Order"="let the police do whatever TF they want"

Right. Apparently, depending on your Party, you may (or may not) get indicted, or even make the news! What a bunch of snowflakes.

One would think with Patrick putting up a Bounty to catch election fraud, it would at least make it into the news. Again, depending on your Party!

She's right about the rethuglicans never being #1. They're always #2.

Laura Benson is voting for the guy who is victimized by Democrats every day of his life.

PAB has burned his branding into the MAGAt brains so well that unless it is in ALL CAPS and IN RED they can't read it, so they'll start yelling at the voting booth in NC and get arrested and their vote won't get counted the end.

So, this is a workable scenario.

If your guy might lose because he's last on the ballot, maybe you picked the wrong guy.
