NC Superintendent of Public Instruction Election
My regular readers may wonder what has become of this election. For those who haven't heard, the election of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Carolina has not been settled yet. Yes, that's the election from November, 2004.
A little background: During the election, a large number of people voted illegally. They voted outside their voting districts and without being registered. There were at least 11,000 illegal votes cast, it is likely there were many, many more. The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that these ballots were illegal. The election results showed the two candidates separated by only 8,500 votes. Therefore, if these 11,000+ votes were thrown out, there's no telling who would have won. Enter Democrats. AFTER the Supreme Court Declared those votes illegal, the Democrat Legislature passed a law to change the rules for voting -- and then promptly applied those laws retroactively to the 2004 election. Then, to make what they're doing appear legitimate to the uninformed public, they decided to have "committee meetings" and a "vote" to determine the winner of the election. Today the committee is meeting to help "determine" the winner. The committee is made up of Democrats. There is no reason to have the meeting because the outcome is already predetermined. This election law change allows the Democrats to quite literally, overrule ANY vote by the people and lets them (the legislature) appoint any candidate to any office they like, for any reason they want. One day, perhaps before the end of this year, North Carolina will have a Superintendent for Public Instruction. It will most certainly be the Democrat candidate, despite the rulings of the Supreme Court, the actual votes cast in the election, or the "proceedings" you may read about. There is no Democracy in North Carolina.
