(what it's really about is NC GOP has numbers telling them Kamala will win the state and kicking Robinson out now is the least bad choice to stop her) -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 09:43 5
- It would be the rare up ballot effect. -- nm - Dano Sep 19, 09:50 4
  - it's worse. NC law would just reverse immunity idol any ballots cast for Robinson to his replacement even if the name on the ballot is Robinson -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:06 3
    - So maybe there was an advantage to waiting till the last possible minute to withdraw? -- nm - con_carne Sep 19, 10:10 2
      - Doubt it. It requires a lot of voter education. I assume many people would still vote against Robinson if they see his name on the ballot. - Dano Sep 19, 10:16
      - the electoral damage has been done for months. this is about trying to salvage the state for Trump not actually win the governorship -- nm - mr mooch Sep 19, 10:14
