North Carolina trial judges on Thursday blocked portions of a new law that would transfer Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s authority to pick election board members to the Republican-dominated General Assembly.

Following a 90-minute hearing, the three state judges agreed unanimously to issue a preliminary injunction sought by Cooper. His lawyers argued that the alterations to the State Board of Elections and county boards in all 100 counties need to be stopped now or his directive in the state constitution to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed” will be harmed irreparably.

The judges’ decision, on its face, is simply stupid and dishonest. Taking care that the laws be faithfully executed does NOT mean that laws cannot be changed unless the governor approves. But stupid and dishonest is par for the course for leftist activist judges.

The question is whether there is a lawful court of appeals somewhere up the chain, preferably before it wends its way to the Supremes.

NC State Supreme Court is 5-2 conservative. It will be appealed and unless there is more to this than I understand Cooper will lose even more power.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
—John F. Kennedy March 13, 1962

Lawfare against their opposite party’s frontrunner. Control of censorship of social media and news outlets. Two tiered pseudo justice system. Mobs are free to shout, trash, vandalize and loot if they hate Jews or Trump and worship George Floyd and BLM. Jan.6 protest is used as phony “insurrection” with built in agent infiltration to make it look that way.

In the entire article they describe how NC’s Board of Elections works.

Just reading it made my head spin.

Goofy stuff in North Carolina.
