It has to be against federal law somehow.

are not that great here but for NC to do a complete turnaround because they elected all these shitheads is just awful. My sympathies. Get out the vote!

But what is going on in NC makes me worry for my friends and family there.

(22,666 posts)8. Tealiban/Koch Bros (John Birch Society) and ALEC (Moral Majority) own & control NC now.
Get used to it.
Unless EVERY SINGLE NClinian gets their asses out and votes these bastards out, things will only get worse. They're working to suppress the vote and have gerrymandered the shit out of the state so ALL that has to be overcome.
Meanwhile, expect a Wisconsin or Michigan-style destruction of the state -- or worse.
