Wonderful Allison Riggs won but it simply maintened the status quo ante of a 5 to 2 republican majority in the North Carolina Supreme Court. And we know how that rolls, may as well preach in a desert, Allison.
As well, the republican house has either a veto proof majority or one shy, meaning, go preach in that North Carolina desert, dems.
The shining spot is the democratic North Carolina governor, defeated that weirdly pro abortion candidate handily - you know: (you want abortion) "cause you couldn't keep your skirts down",
Yeah that guy on major nightly news, lucky he did not withdraw or it would be a total right wing desert. Winning governorship next cycle will not be so easy.
I would not live in North Carolina for anything.
