A panel of corrupt republicans are trying to toss upwards of 65,000 votes in an effort to overturn election results. Gee, where have I heard this one before?

If you're an NC voter

Search this list for your name or your friends and family members to see if your/they're vote is being challenged. You can also leave the name blank and search by county to see if you know anyone on the list.

Alright what do we need to do to reach out to the voters that need to “cure” their votes?

It’s not the votes that are sick btw, it’s this fucking state that thinks it’s legal to throw people’s votes away.

There's not a lot of info on it right now, trying to figure out if my vote needs cured or not, no clue on how to do so yet.

Check here to see if you're on the list. Not sure what to do to validate your vote, but afaik the 15 day window to do that hasn't yet started

It's like these people don't realize they're in a country full of angry people with guns.

They're in a country full of angry people with guns who have been trained over generations to think that there's no need to use them - that protests will be enough because the only next logical step after that would be violence, and nobody wants that. But really, I don't have a lot of faith that most will actually use them - I know in my heart of hearts that I won't. I think we've been trained to have such faith in our loud bark that we're left completely unable to bite. There are a few individuals who have worked up the courage to take real action, but we'd need a lot more than that to scare the wealthy into playing fair. I hope I'm wrong, but every time I think about taking that next logical step as a result of all the inconsequential protests, I fail to even come close to having the courage to do so, and I don't think I the only one.

I've read a lot of comments (here and elsewhere) similar to this. Basically there are many people on the edge right now. I think when those people find that they have nothing left to lose, or their loved ones are being screwed over, they'll be the ones to say fuckit and start doing something. Once that happens, many more will follow.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that but it's a very real possibility when you combine the current state of things with impending climate disasters.
