Republicans cut into early voting to sweeten conditions for Trump

When the Republican North Carolina Supreme Court decided to force the removal of RFK Jr. from the 2024 ballot, it created such a logistical nightmare that replacing the ballots is cutting into early voting time. Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer covering courts and the law for Slate, talks with Alex Wagner about the shady Republican tactics going on in North Carolina and other states.

These are no justices but traitors to justice.

An ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!! The world is watching and is disgusted. Aussie Al

[Paintguy]

I smell a lawsuit coming, and it is well deserved. This gerrymandered GOP garbage needs to come to an end.

[kennethferland]

Heinous desision by that State supreme court, at the minimum the RFK campaign should be required to pay all the costs of new ballot printing.

[TT-diqz]

I live in North Carolina, and my family typically votes early. But we are not concerned about the delay. We are voting, AND we are NOT voting for Donald Trump.

[Dont.Call.Me.Tall.]

Make RFK pay the cost of all of that. That guy is a circus geek.

[lonniecolon]

How are we allowing this crap to happen!

[frankharris]

why are they allowed to do this man what a disgrace

[janakingking]

I'm having a hard time believing things like this are happening in the US now

[frankharris]

you should be calling it as it is, these guys are liars, cheats, and should be ashamed

[abrahamoluwagbenga]

This should be in the news. If they can’t insert a name after the deadline, they shouldn't remove it.

[Eric-]

They know they’re losing so they resort to cheating. Absolutely pathetic.

[niclewis]

RFK Jnr and campaign should have to pay the millions of dollars to have the ballots reprinted. Not taxpayers.

[niclewis]

This is why we have to get out and Vote. Get our friends and family out and Vote Blue LOCAL AND STATE. 🇺🇲🗳️🇺🇲🌊🌊🌊

[sharonkellner]

More Republican favoritism continues. When will it stop??

[freedom-tn]

RFK needs to pay for the new ballots!! Vote Blue!! Harris-Walz 2024!!

[cheritamd]

How is that not 100% illegal!? If he wanted his name off he should have met the deadline. Period. In fact if you take the name off one ballot it should come off all states ballots automatically. It’s so frustrating to see this keep happening!

If that situation in North Carolina isn't enough to make sure that everybody gets out and votes, I don't know what will. If I was there I would be extremely determined to make sure that I got to vote. One way or another it would happen.

[davidwilkinson]

RFK should crawl back under the rock he slithered out from!
