We've seen a HUGE influx of new users on Bluesky.

This platform is growing, and I am excited to be here with you all.

Figured I would share my starter pack with some of my favorite accounts! go.bsky.app/6ZPSJH3

Pie for breakfast all Thanksgiving weekend is a real thing, right?

Orange Co recount complete. Griffin minus 4, Riggs minus 9.

Orange County Recount Day 4. We expect to be finished tabulating all 88,000+ ballots this morning. This afternoon we hold a preliminary hearing to consider our County’s portion of the 60,000 voters whose right to vote has been challenged.

As someone who mosquitos will seek out in a crowd, this revelation is absolutely terrifying.

I think maybe one of my greatest achievements as an in-house counsel is having the business team respond “It depends” to a question from the CEO. My work here has not been in vain 🤣

Day 3 of Orange County NC recount of the NC Supreme Court Assoc Justice Race. Just a few adjustments from prior reported results - usually a mark read by the machine as an overvote for which human eyes are able to ascertain the intent of the voter and mark the candidate accordingly.

Tabulator jam on Election Day resulted in 2 ballots being scanned twice. Precinct judge noted the error in her report & the CBOE noted the error at canvass. Recount corrected the error since ballots were tabulated correctly. Result: 2 votes down for one candidate from their prior-reported total.

Recount count of paper ballots can vary from the tabulator result. Example: a voter fully marked one candidate & made a partial mark on the other. The machine recorded an overvote, but the Board was able to ascertain the intent of the voter and record the vote for the fully marked race.

Another Twitter/X refugee here. So far I'm loving the blue skies and comparative absence of toxicity. Can I say hi to your dog? Where are the NC people?
