RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina would enter a compact that could eliminate the power of the Electoral College system to choose a president in a bill that passed the Senate on Monday night.

Hmm CA, NJ, FL, all are taking up residence here now.
Outside of Asheville it still is very conservative, Asheville is quickly living up to the billing of “San Francisco East”.
Taylor really slipped up in the race against Shuler, from his abortice vote against CAFTA that didn’t register, to his flubbing of a radio debate, to his lack of enthusiasm for campaigning, he literally gave the election to Shuler.
Shuler is a full time cretin.
Sorry the Dems have taken over there! Was it Republican controlled until 2006? If so, you all can take it BACK with some coordinated effort. Don't stop fighting.
Oh how I would love to see that happen - and to participate! But, alas, I would bet 90% of North Carolinians have NO IDEA this has occurred nor who is behind it nor what result it will bring.
Help get the word out. Can you write good letters? Notify Mark Levin, Bill O'Reilly (he has done a huge piece on Soros, the evil one). My time here is so limited....but the word must get out.
Do you really think Harold Ickes and George Soros would be pushing a “movement” that would favor the Republicans?
If the adopted by all states it favors the Dems. But if only the blue states pass it, it clearly favors the Republicans, because the voters in the red states get a say in how the blue states allocate their electoral votes. Soros' view are irrelevant.
Well that’s good to know. Wish they were voting on our side now......I have siblings like this too.
Soros is very relevant IMHO. He and Hitlery’s apparatchnik Ickes are nothing less than diabolical and their plan will WORK to their advantage - eventually. The time to stop it is now......not later.
