“…
State Rep. Carla Cunningham, who has represented the 106th district in North Carolina’s House of Representatives since 2013, lost to Reverend Rodney Sadler by nearly 50 percentage points, 70% to 22%. The 106th district encompasses parts of Charlotte.

In July, Cunningham cast the lone Democratic vote to override Governor Josh Stein’s veto of a Republican bill that forced local law enforcement agencies to work closely with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The legislation required sheriffs to determine whether county inmates are citizens and to detain them for longer if ICE requested it.…”

Respectfully this guy has been full of a lot of BS for a while. He may be right in this situation but I need that message from someone else.

Strikes me as just as likely that Paxton figured Crockett would beat Talarico and by cutting out late Dallas votes the pubs would prevent her from a majority. The pubs probably wanted the Dems in a nasty runoff as much or more than a particular Dem candidate. At least in this stage.

Also Crocket is winning Dallas county with just under 61% of the vote with 61% reporting. That currently equates to a 43k vote lead in Dallas while currently down in the popular vote by 110k. She was not winning either way. Now that does not speak to Paxton’s motives.

I agree. I don’t think Crockett was going to win, no matter what. But the stupid shit going on in Texas is just a dry run for this fall. Pubs know there is a reckoning coming.

I'd hope to see both Dem primary candidates united in calling out the Republican election day shenanigans. Talarico probably didn't feel secure enough in his lead to do so last night, but there needs to be a completely united front on this stuff.

A united front is imperative . It looks like Talarico will win the primary. He will need the enthusiastic support from Crockett voters to have any chance of winning the general election.
My hope would be for Talarico and Crockett to campaign together in order to demonstrate that unity.

Let Zoo be the ornery Zoo we have come to know and love. His experience and historical knowledge of NC politics and UNC sports makes him a very valuable contributor to the board. He takes me to task from time to time and is quick to dismiss my proxy campaign for Congress years ago, but I take no offense. Let Zoo be Zoo ;)
 
It would seem that Gen. Mikey Head Case Flynn & Co are at it again/never went away. It would not surprise me if they had this ready to go in 2024 but lucked out and they didn't have to attempt it b/c Tump won. I think we can count on it in November:
