The chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus says the North Carolina Legislature should consider allocating the state’s presidential electors to Donald Trump even before votes are counted in the swing state.

2. Geez

Why have a vote then? Is this guy brain dead?

3. Let's just say Andy Harris lost the last election and has to step down now.

I guess votes don't mean anything anymore. Joe Biden should appoint someone to the seat.

4. Rep from Maryland opines on North Carolina Legislature.

More gall than legal knowledge, I'd say.

5. Racist retirees from US Govt. jobs who moved to Eastern Maryland keep re-electing this jackass

Boomer Marylander here. All white folk. This comment would IMMEDIATELY be pulled from both TikTok AND Reddit subgroups even though it's true. Many have moved to W. Va as well pushing that state farther right for the last 50 years. This is how we get these stupid knuckle-draggers planted permanently in those political seats.

6. Andy Harris is thoroughly confused about how democracy works...

And completely ignorant of the way the NCSBE has worked tirelessly to ensure voters will not be disenfranchised in NC.

He certainly is full of himself.

What a useless demented prig.

7. Not really for freedom is he? They need to rename their caucus.

8. The Nazi caucus

Is a more accurate description.
