In case you're still counting, it's now up to seven months after the election and North Carolina continues to have the only race in the country that has not yet been decided. However, if you read any news reports about it, you will be misled.

The current news reports claim that a battle rages over 11,000 provisional ballots in a statewide race where one person leads by about 8,500 ballots. But there really is no question about the ballots -- the North Carolina Supreme Court has alread ruled that those ballots were cast illegally.

At issue is whether the Democrat-controlled legislature will abide by that decision. To all outward appearances, they are going to simply ignore the Supreme Court ruling and claim those votes were legal simply because they were cast for a Democrat. This should start a constitutional crisis in North Carolina, but it will simply be ignored as politics as usual.

Personally, I think that since we've made it an entire 7 months without a Superintendent of Public instruction that we should simply do away with the position. Obviously it's not that important now, is it? Yes, the position was filled with a "temporary" appointee of the governor, but still...

I'll keep you updated as the Democrat Legislature continues their charade and ignores the ruling of the State Supreme Court in proclaiming their own candidate ruler, against the wishes of the people who actually voted. And you thought that your vote only didn't count in Florida. In North Carolina, the Democrats are openly ignoring legally cast ballots -- but it's OK because no one really cares.
