Mass firings, shutting down critical services, blowing up our alliances, crashing the markets, encouraging inflation...
These aren't the actions of a political party aspiring to get reelected.
These are the actions of an authoritarian regime that does not intend to honor elections ever again.

Posted a version of this graph yesterday.
The dark bars are the number of votes separating the top 2 finishers in #ncpol state elections. The lighter bars represent the difference between the # of ballots cast for Pres. & the # of ballots cast for that item.
