FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: ELECTION REFORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ID required, in person, absentee only for specific circumstances.
I’d even go for a finger stuck in the inkwell.
But most important: MANDATORY MINIMUM 20 YEARS JAIL FOR ANY GOVERNMENT FRAUD
I would go for a one-year amnesty for anyone who exposes fraud, including their own.

What we need, another RINO in office. Will she wise up and vote for the citizens of North Carolina, or will she continue to vote D?
Recount 2016 and 2020 governor races. How does a state vote Republican for President, US Senator, Lt. Governor and then vote for a Democrat Governor? Twice! With voting machines.
