Yesterday @NCSBE met to review new voting systems. I drove to Raleigh to speak after submitting the letter linked below for @CoalitionGoodGv. But I thought I'd made a wrong turn ↩️ and ended up in Atlanta. You'll see why. 1. Room was packed with thoughtful citizens to comment.
2/ Many had taken leave from work to come. Some drove many hours from coasts and mountains to speak because they care about democratic values and fair elections. 3. The Chairman was arrogant, hostile, rude, disrespectful of the citizens.😡 4. Gave these citizens TWO min to speak,
3/ when there was much that needed to be said. But he might as well have given us 2 seconds each. 5. He and R's didn't listen or read any facts. Minds made up to favor vendors over voters. 6. Every single citizen was well prepared and opposed barcodes. 7. The 2 R's and the Chair
4/ had no interest in hearing them. 8. The claims made by the chair and the R's at the end were embarrassingly ignorant. Claiming that RLAs will solve the problem with inability to audit the barcode ballots!!
5/ I checked my GPS.🧭 It said I was in Raleigh, not GA. I visited family in Raleigh, ---so it must have been NC---but deja vu GA in the extreme.
Where do public officials learn to behave this way??⁉️
We citizens must take back our elections!
Dems, this was a Dem Chair!
6/ Here is the letter that @CoalitionGoodGv submitted. s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/S…
@CoalitionGoodGv 7/ I am not a Democrat, so my voice will hold no sway with @NCDemParty, but Dem voters should demand that Cooper fire Circosta as Chair immediately. No 2nd chance! The job is too important for an ignorant jerk.
