Janice Huskey: Circumventing voters

Pat McCrory lost the governor’s race. He and the state Republicans are now trying to have tens of thousands of votes thrown out. Not surprisingly, these votes are in Democratic-leaning areas.

Mike Morgan defeated Bob Edmunds for a seat on the N.C. Supreme Court, giving the Democrats a 4-3 advantage.

Republicans now think it would be a good idea to have McCrory appoint two more Supreme Court judges, obviously Republicans, giving them back the majority.

If elections don’t go their way, they want to change the rules. They show no respect for the voters. Shameful.
