I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.
This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

Schimel has to know that Musk making this election about himself hurts Schimel. But clearly Schimel also knows he can't say "no" to Musk. Which is another reason it's so critical that Schimel lose to Crawford. We can't have Justices who can't say no to Musk.
