NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

“If our position means no more NEA grants for Tupelo Press, so be it. To act otherwise would be immoral.
Meanwhile, our heart goes out to the dedicated professional staff at the NEA for having to put up with this crap.”

Letter from Tupelo Press
It is all over the net that the government is restricting the NEA. Tupelo Press wrote a very articulate letter about it. The results are shocking:

"dismissing without prejudice and with the express option of again indicting Adams in the future creates obvious ethical problems, by implicitly threatening future prosecution if Adams’s cooperation with enforcing the immigration laws proves unsatisfactory to the Department." A sword of Damocles.

Democrat Ken Jenkins won this special election for county exec over a Trump-endorsed Republican who was bent on deep-sixing the county's sanctuary status and backing the Trump agenda. And he won it big--bigger than expected. Hold onto that as a sign of what Democrats can do when they stick together.
The voters have spoken. They've chosen sane, decent and effective leadership over MAGA rhetoric.
Congrats to Ken Jenkins!
