#BREAKING: In NC Supreme Court race, Griffin has wrongly accused at least 30 voters of never residing in NC, including 22 with a history of in-person voting. With court action imminent, I pulled an all-nighter to bring you this paywall-free story. #ncpol substack-proxy.glitch.me/articles/ander…

Yikes

Topline from today: Robinson's conversation (NOT INTERVIEW) on Thursday represented less of a personal change or growth story and more of a familiar history of defending himself at all costs. #ncpol Read more--> theassemblync.com/news/politics/…

For whoever needs to hear it, an "interview" is not a 93-minute segment a former campaign manager facilitates where a friendly host asks at most 10 questions (and none in the first 24 minutes). It's not an interview. It's not journalism. It barely qualifies as a conversation.

That's it for Robinson "interview" takeaways. But will have more to say for @TheAssemblyNC. Subscribe here--> theassemblync.com/newsletters/po… And a reminder: If reporting on the Robinson conversation, the source of where it came from ought not be ignored. #ncpol

The only regret I hear in Robinson interview is this: "I should have changed campaign teams in the summer and took my campaign in a completely different direction. And if I had, I believe even with the CNN scandal, I still would've won the race." What he's alluding to--> #ncpol

Asked in "interview" if he regretted his response to the coverage over his pornographic posts, Robinson replies, "No. I do the exact same thing. ... I'd make the exact same decision. I'd fight the exact same way." #ncpol

Robinson doesn't specifically reference this story, but this was among the many things Robinson vehemently denied. #ncpol

Save yourself the time. In "interview," former NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson says he was obsessed with sex and pornography. "I watched pornography and was involved with people that watched pornography and that was absolutely true." That's the main thing. #ncpol

Why the Berger-Page race won't be certified this month--> #ncpol theassemblync.com/news/politics/…

-If Berger can't gain any votes from a partial hand recount or convince the NCSBE or a court to order a full hand recount or selective hand recount, he's mathematically eliminated. -But even after that, we still have election protests, which delays the official certification.

So what's next? -Berger has until tomorrow afternoon to request a partial hand recount -Presumably, it'd take place early next week. To have a shot at winning, Berger would need at least some vote(s) to swing his way to trigger a full hand recount.

The Berger-Page race can't be certified until April 6th at the *EARLIEST*. Per NCSBE, the state board wouldn't sign off on the results until all counties have completed their post-election processes, even if the protests can't change the outcome of the race. #ncpol

Board technically meets on March 30th, but will "continue" the meeting on April 6th to accommodate Page attorney Paul Cox being unavailable from March 28th thru April 4th.

Guilford Board of Elections finds probable cause to move forward with the process of considering Phil Berger's election protest on the basis 8 voters who may have received a ballot without the #SD26 race on the ballot. Board will consider the matter at 2pm on April 6th. #ncpol

I'm 1 and done. #MarchSadness

"We are completely balanced with what it was after our provisional meeting," Rockingham elections director Paul Seamster announces. #ncpol

Rockingham County recount has just concluded recount, with no change to vote totals. The Guilford recount yesterday produced -1 vote for Berger and -1 vote for Page, so no net change. Page's 23-vote lead remains. Berger now has 24 hours to request partial hand recount. #ncpol

@NC_old_lib Berger and Page each lost a vote yesterday, so no net change.

@BryanRAnderson Any update on the Guilford County recount?

Latest from the Rockingham recount: Election Day precincts, absentee by mail, and provisionals all matched 100%. We now go to recount of early voting. #ncpol
