Mark Robinson thread | Sues CNN for Naked Africa reporting

CLT Heel said:
Someone correct me on the legal aspects, but my understanding is that at this point, they CANT replace him with another candidate. It’s not just about having the name on the ballot. If he was to drop out then stein would win as the top vote getter from those remaining.


Can someone clarify?

According to the statutes on the books, he cannot be replaced. To put it differently, the GOP cannot nominate another candidate, unless MRob dies. It's not a question of the ballot (which is a different issue). No votes for Mark Robinson can be given to anyone else except Mark Robinson. The GOP can announce in a press release that Pat McCrory is the new candidate, but that won't make it so. I don't know if NC has write-ins for governor; if so, then conceivably the Pubs could try a write-in campaign for McCrory. But as long as Mark Robinson is alive and conscious, there is no way for any alternate GOPer to collect votes from a listed name on the ballot.

That's what the statute book says. Whether the NC Supreme Court would find an exception, I can't say. It doesn't look much like the GOP is trying to replace him, though.
 
This thread was on Page 4. I get that the catastrophe in the mountains has dominated NC news the last couple of weeks, for very good reason. Politics pales in comparison to what folks up there are experiencing.

But HOW IN THE HOLY HELL is nobody talking about Mark F'ing Robinson???

Right, but it's not about that race. It's about the presidential race. Robinson might be the largest anchor (potentially, anyway) in recent political history.
 
Don't mind the ads associating Robinson with other Rs running. But I wish they would lower the number of Stein ads and replace them with Jackson and other Dem ads.
 
Get ready, everybody! Any day now, Robinson is going to release the findings of who it was who set him up and posted all that false info out on nude Africa. He’s getting to the bottom of it! Aaaaaany day now!!

I still laugh whenever I think of Robinson claiming that he was set up and that he had hired people to investigate and uncover the evil leftists who set him up, and yet when a team of IT experts offered to look at his servers and other data to determine to the truth, he immediately turned down their help. "Oh, I don't need anyone else looking into this - seriously, don't touch my servers or internet history!"
