The North Carolina State Board of Elections is asserting a right to keep far-right Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), who’s currently being scrutinized over his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, off the ballot ahead of the 2022 midterms if it so chooses.
Any time a Red State does something that on its face seems like the right thing to do, I smell a rat.
What’s the catch, that they’re deciding that the real insurrection was the Biden Steal, thus they’ll just have to ban any Dems who voted for him from ever running?
At some point, being a traitor does impede a grifter like Cawthorn. North Carolina does have its bright spots.
It’s obviously a total grift here, from a legal perspective, to file a pre-emptive suit like this. (IANAL) There’s been no injury to Cawthorn, so he has no basis for a lawsuit. What morons, he and his attorney are. They’re doing this for publicity, plain and simple.
