Democrats' dilatory behavior could be viewed as a bid to create a political advantage and may even win them the crucial swing state in November.

More than a week after Hurricane Helene’s devastating strike, the Biden administration continues boasting of its so-called response with press releases and empty rhetoric, while millions of North Carolinians remain stranded — homeless, powerless, and without access to necessities like food and water.
Tonight, I received a heart-wrenching text from a friend in Haywood County: “The government is worthless that we have right now. If I could say one good thing, I would. God help us get them out!”
This raises the critical question of politics. North Carolina, often labeled a swing state, has historically leaned red. In the last fourteen presidential elections, Republicans have won twelve times, carried by the deep-red western counties — twenty-one of the twenty-five counties have voted Republican in every election since 1968. These counties are, by far, the reddest region of the state.
But here is the alarming reality: if the voting power of these counties, now suffering in Helene's aftermath, is diminished or neutralized, North Carolina could swing blue. The stakes have never been higher.

That is what it boils down to. Just like the
Trump lawfare.
They should be allowed to vote whenever they are rescued regardless of the calendar.
Or given ballots with relief.
You know the DemocRATs will fight that in court.
Screw them. Heck, beat them. Or take them to an area, save people, and leave them to fend for themselves.
Act like an animal get treated like one.
I’ve had enough of them.
Love it
