Is it fair or even patriotic to threaten states that do not conform to the Democratic Socialists' mandate to control the outcome of Free and Fair elections enacted by constitutionally guaranteed states' legislatures?
  Yes, all elections must be federalized so that the whim of the majority political party can set the standard for all elections.
  No, Our Founders purposefully decentralized elections by guaranteeing only states' legislatures the independent right to enact Free and Fair elections.
  I don't vote and I don't care.

Governor Cooper Receives a COVID-19 Vaccine

Press Release:

    RALEIGH: Today, Governor Roy Cooper received his first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at WakeMed Raleigh Campus.

    "As we enter Group 3 prioritization, I'm proud to have received my shot today from North Carolina health workers who have served on the front lines of this pandemic for the past year," Gov. Cooper said. "These vaccines are safe and effective, and critical to beating this pandemic. Every North Carolinian will have a spot and I encourage them to get their shot."

    Yesterday, Gov. Cooper and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Mandy K. Cohen, M.D. announced that all frontline essential workers in Group 3 are eligible to get their vaccine beginning today, March 3. With a third vaccine authorized and better overall supply of vaccines, the state moved to vaccinate frontline essential workers starting today. Vaccinations for some members of Group 4 will begin on March 24, starting with people at higher risk from COVID-19 due to underlying medical conditions as well as people in certain congregate-living settings.
