They agreed that voters whose files may not include their full drivers license or … More More Good News than Bad News in the Griffin Case, But…
This week I wrote about the Griffin list, which seeks to throw out 65,000+ votes in the North Carolina Supreme Court race (click here and here to read those posts).

So I’ve done what is probably the most consequential Hallowalimuertos activity–I went and cast my vote for the 2024 elections!
