In 2012, a scientific study predicted a 39 inch rise in sea level along the North Carolina coast over the next century. In response, North Carolina lawmakers passed a law banning the use of scientific predictions of sea level rise when considering new developments along the coast.
Republicans
VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck voting in NC. Republicans have a supermajority in both state houses thanks to racist gerrymandering. A federal court has ruled against them several times, inc just last month. They claimed they didn’t have time to redraw the districts for 2018 (just use the old ones maybe???), so it’s being put on hold until the next election.
They’re trying to destroy the system of checks and balances in this state. When a Dem Governor was elected in 2016, they shoved thru several laws stripping the executive branch of its power, which the outgoing Republican Governor signed into law. This election cycle they have 2 constitutional amendments on the ballot which are MISLEADING AS HELL, and 100% designed to pack the state courts with Republicans. If our current governor vetoes anything they do, they have enough of a majority to overrule him, and they’ve done so several times.
They are literally working as hard as they can to STEAL the government of this state away from the majority. This is a purple state, but we have more registered Democrats than Republicans…so how do Republicans control 2/3 of the state house?? Oh yeah. GERRYMANDERING!!
Never. Ever. Trust Republicans. I don’t care what they say or how they look. They care NOTHING for the rule of law, the constitution, or representative government. They care about THEIR agenda and nothing else, even if it means turning 100% into Big Brother style fascists.
According to one of the founders of the Electoral Integrity Project, North Carolina is no longer a functioning democracy. He also said that North Carolina’s gerrymandering is the worst in the entire world. The Republicans get a tiny tiny majority of votes (sometimes they don’t even get that) and they have 100 percent of the power.
I live here please help me escape.
