"A Maryland Republican who leads a right-wing coalition in Congress says North Carolina’s legislature should consider awarding Electoral College votes to former President Donald Trump before citizens’ votes are counted, according to Politico.

Rep. Andy Harris, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, made the comments at a dinner on Thursday, saying the idea “makes a lot of sense” because the western part of the state, a rural area where Trump is popular, is still dealing with the impact of Hurricane Helene."

    Even suggesting this should mean he never works in politics again as it is clearly illegal and against the will of the people. But we know that’s never gonna fucking happen since the Republicans love to ignore our electoral structure when they don’t like it.
