- From NC Board of Elections:10 Things to Know as NC Primary Season Begins
10 Things to Know as NC Primary Election Season Begins Raleigh, N.C. — This week, county boards of elections across North Carolina began sending absentee-by-mail ballots to registered voters who requested them for the May 17 primary and certain municipal elections. The following are 10 things to know as the 2022 mid-term primary election approaches. In the primary election, voters will select nominees for a political party to move on to the November 8 general election. Contests on the ballot include U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, N.C. General Assembly, state and local judges, district attorney, and county offices. In primaries, voters affiliated with a political party will be given a ballot of candidates for their party. Unaffiliated voters may choose the ballot of any party that has a primary. Libertarians do not have any primaries this year. More information: Upcoming Election. Voters in approximately 30 municipalities across the state will also go to the polls to elect mayors and city/town council members. These municipal elections occur at the same time and on the same ballot as the primary contests for the general election. To find out if your municipality is conducting an election on May 17, visit the State Board’s Local Voter Tool. For voters eligible to vote in 2022 primary and municipal elections, sample ballots are available through the State Board of Elections’ Voter Search tool. Voters also may check their registration status, Election Day polling place and additional information about their voting record using the Voter Search. Voters who have requested absentee-by-mail ballots should receive them soon. In North Carolina, any eligible voter can request, receive, and vote an absentee ballot by mail. More information: Vote By Mail. Registered voters may request a ballot online at the North Carolina Absentee Ballot Portal. Voters may also submit a ballot request by filling out the English N.C. Absentee Ballot Request Form for 2022 (PDF), the English N.C. Absentee Ballot Request Form for 2022 (non-fillable print-only PDF), or Spanish N.C. Absentee Request Form for 2022 (PDF), and returning it to their county board of elections. Voters who submit the request form, instead of using the State Board’s website, must submit the form by mail or in person. They may not submit the request form via email or fax. The absentee ballot request deadline is May 10. Overseas, military, and visually impaired voters may request, mark, and return their ballots through the State Board’s accessible portal. By-mail voters in 2022 must once again have their ballot witnessed and the return envelope signed by two individuals or a notary. For 2020 only, because of the pandemic, the witness requirement was reduced to one. By-mail voters may track their ballot using a service called BallotTrax. Sign up at BallotTrax: North Carolina. More information: Ballot Tracking Available Again for Absentee By-Mail Voters. The regular voter registration deadline for the May 17 primary election is April 22. Individuals who miss the deadline may register and vote at the same time during the in-person early voting period. More information: Registering. Registered voters may not change their party affiliation after the voter registration deadline, and they may not change their party affiliation at an early voting site. The in-person early voting period for the 2022 primary begins Thursday, April 28, and ends at 3 p.m. Saturday, May 14. Voters may cast a ballot at any early voting site in their county. Early voting sites and schedules are available at the One-Stop Early Voting Site Search. See the PDF version of all sites and schedules. More information: Vote Early in Person. Election Day is May 17. Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. More information: Vote in Person on Election Day. ###

- It's not just red vs. blue: more voters in North Carolina are registered as unaffiliated
More unaffiliated voters registered in North Carolina for 2022 | wcnc.com In some counties, the number of unaffiliated voters eclipses voters registered as Republicans or Democrats. Author: Matthew Ablon (WCNC) Published: 10:33 PM EST March 12, 2022 Updated: 11:03 PM EST March 12, 2022 RALEIGH, N.C. — With the 2022 midterm elections just around the corner, voters will be heading to the polls to decide who will represent them for all sorts of leadership roles, from local governments to state and federal seats. As incumbent officials and challengers alike ramp up their campaigns, they not only will want to appeal to their own party's base, but those who haven't yet picked a party. In North Carolina, Democrats and Republicans will have their work cut out for them; roughly one-third of all active, inactive, and temporarily registered voters in the Tar Heel State are listed as unaffiliated. Dr. Michael Bitzer, a professor of politics at Catawba College, shared a look at voter registration data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE), which was released on Saturday. Of North Carolina's roughly 7.2 million voter pool, just shy of 2.5 million voters are not affiliated with the Republican, Democratic, or Libertarian parties. That means roughly 35% of the state's voter pool hasn't picked a party. Rmore here More unaffiliated voters registered in North Carolina for 2022 | wcnc.com
- Senator Kennedy Stumps Supreme Court Nominee with One Question
Senator Kennedy Stumps Supreme Court Nominee with One Question (townhall.com) As Tuesday's Supreme Court confirmation hearing dragged into the evening hours, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) raised a simple question about when constitutional protections for life — or even just life itself — begins. "When does life begin, in your opinion," Senator Kennedy asked Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for starters. "Senator... um... I don't... know," Judge Jackson replied, followed by an uneasy, awkward laugh. "Do you have a belief?" Kennedy pressed. "I have, um, personal religious and otherwise beliefs that have nothing to do with the law in terms of when life begins," Jackson responded. "Do you have a personal belief though about when life begins?" Kennedy probed. "I have a religious view that I set aside when I am ruling on cases," Jackson evaded again. Senator Kennedy pushed further on the point, asking Judge Jackson an important follow-up, "When does equal protection of the laws attach to a human being?" "Well Senator, um... I believe that the Supreme Court... um... actually I, I actually don't know the answer to that question — I'm sorry — I don't," Judge Jackson responded, again with an ill-timed grin on her face as her initially confident answer turned to another know-nothing response. How Senate Judiciary Democrats and Judge Jackson's "sherpa" — former Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) — apparently failed to prepare her to answer questions relating to the debate over life displays either arrogance that Jackson's answers don't matter to the outcome of the confirmation vote or ignorance that such questions might arise. With the Supreme Court set to rule in the near future on one of the most significant challenges to Roe v. Wade in a generation and the issue of life being a long-running priority for Republicans in the Senate, it is absurd to think Judge Jackson's team would assume questions on the topic wouldn't arrive. Yet, it doesn't seem Jackson has given the issue much thought. If you care about life of the unborn, please consider working to spread the word with the Susan B Anthony list. See here for details!

- Encourage Your GOP Chairs to Join NCEIT.org
Dear NC GOP County Chair: We want you to be aware of what is going on in NC and around the country regarding election integrity to duplicate the 2020 Virginia election success and to encourage the Haywood County GOP to join the effort. There is an eight-state initiative to duplicate the 2020 Virginia election success spearheaded by the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) with the support of Heritage Action for America (HAFA), Voter Integrity Project (VIP) and the NCGOP and the RNC. (See *NCEIT Feb 4-5 attached.) The Conservative Coalition of North Carolina (CCNC), (the equivalent of Virginia's Election Integrity Coalition) is organizing the various parties to deliver training and a summit. They have already had meetings in DC in January and in Winston-Salem on February 4-5, 2022. Fifty plus grassroots groups attended. Michael Whatley was there to assure us that the NCGOP would be an active partner as well as David Warren of the RNC. On the last NC GOP Chair call, Michael Whatley invited Jim Womack, Lee County GOP Chair and Grassroots Director for the Conservative Coalition of North Carolina, to review the NCEIT initiative, progress and to encourage attendance at the trainings. (About | North Carolina Election Integrity (nceit.org) The eight state initiative includes the targeted states of Florida, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. CPI is investing the time, energy, and funds in each state to assure we are building a permanent infrastructure to make it Easy to Vote and Hard to Cheat. The left is way ahead of us by stealing elections. We must put a stop to it. It took the left two election cycles to turn Virginia Blue. It took Virginia patriots one election cycle to turn it Red. (See Citizens Guide below that was the blueprint for the VA success and what the eight states are using to duplicate that success.) On March 5th, there was a hands-on training for observers and pole workers, etc in Sanford at Lee County GOP Headquarters. Jim Womack, CCNC's grassroots director and Lee County GOP Chair, along with Jay Delancey, VIP Director, are leading the training. On March 19th, there will be another in Pinehurst. The hands-on training will be duplicated all over NC in April and beyond to train volunteers. In addition, CCNC has also set up a website for remote training for volunteers. www.NCEIT.org. It will be behind a firewall. Access will be given to those vetted and then given a password. NCEIT also has weekly Zoom meetings at 11AM on Tuesdays by invitation only where attendees are vetted before admitted. If you would like to join the meeting, please let Jim Womack or Jay Delancey know. Each grassroots leader is in the process of recruiting volunteers for the training and for eyeing venues for the training. There are already three in mind for WNC. We already have every Saturday in April booked for training across the state. Training will resume in June. There will also be across the state rallies and a state summit probably sometime in late spring or early summer. Many moving parts. NC Election Integrity Team is currently building an army of volunteers to man the polls. This is important for you to know about. NCEIT is encouraging GOP chairs to let their folks know to take advantage of the training. Please also don't hesitate to call Jim Womack, Lee County GOP chair at 919 770 4783, james.k.womack@gmail.com. Jay Delancey: Voter Integrity Project: 919 332 4129 jay.delancey@gmail.com Thank you.

- Help Prevent Absentee-Ballot Voter Abuse in Care Facilities
As one part of the North Carolina Election Integrity initiative to duplicate Virginia's 2020 election success, we are encouraging folks to join a multi-partisan assistance team or "MAT" in your county to prevent absentee ballot abuse in care facilities like nursing homes. See here for details to sign up. and do sign up for training, alerts, conference calls, etc on NCEIT.org MAT Teams Assistance for Voters in Care Facilities A multi-partisan assistance team, or “MAT,” is a group appointed by a county board of elections to provide assistance with mail-in absentee voting and other services to voters living at facilities such as hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. A MAT includes, at a minimum, two people who have different party affiliations (or, in the alternative, persons who were unanimously appointed by a bipartisan county board of elections. If you request help from a MAT, you should receive impartial, professional assistance. Their job is to help you vote, but your voting choices will remain confidential. MATs are authorized to help voters in the following ways, with specific legal requirements: • Providing voter registration services • Requesting an absentee ballot • Serving as an absentee witness • Marking the absentee ballot • Sealing the ballot and completing the absentee application • Mailing the voted absentee ballot in the closest U.S. mail depository or mailbox, if the voter has a disability Apply in the link below: MAT Team Application (google.com)

Come Again? Ukrainian Parliament Member Tells Fox News: "We Not only Fight For Ukraine - We Fight For this New World Order" (VIDEO) (thegatewaypundit.com) Ukrainian parliament member Kira Rudik said the quiet part out loud when she joined Fox News on Sunday to provide an update about the ongoing advance on Kyiv by Russian forces. During the interview, Rudik detailed the efforts Ukrainians are making to defend against Putin’s invasion, highlighting how countless civilians have “taken up arms” and are standing at the ready – including herself. The people are “ready to fight” for their country, she explained. However, there’s something else they are fighting for. According to Rudik, the Ukrainian people are also laying their lives on the line for the democracy of the “New World Order.” TRENDING: EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE: Hairdresser who Falsely Accused Eric Greitens in Bogus Case Brought by Soros Prosecutor Could Face Felony Perjury Charges In response to the host asking if she was “surprised” to see Ukrainians displaying such strong will to fight back against Russia, Rudik explained: “I’m not surprised. We have been fighting Putin for the last 8 years and we had three other revolutions in our country when we did not agree with what was going on with the direction we were moving in. But right now it’s a critical time because we know that we not only fight for Ukraine, [but] we fight for this New World Order for the democratic countries. We [know] that we are the shield for the Euro. We [know] that we are protecting not only Ukraine, [but] we are protecting like all the other countries that would be next if we failed.

- Not One State Who Cheated Trump Has Decertified the Election
By Devvy Kidd|March 9th, 2022 By: Devvy March 9, 2021 “Fraud: deceit, trickery, breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage: mail fraud; election fraud. Farce: mockery; a sham.” Mine, February 8, 2016 It’s now been 17 months since the second greatest heist (passage of the unconstitutional “Federal” Reserve Banking Act of 1913 was first) was pulled off and despite the massive amount of solid evidence, not one of the states has decertified the fraudulent “election”. Anyone who watched the court hearing out in Nevada and the paper trail evidence proved without a doubt China’s bitch, Joe Biden, didn’t win that state. Over 1500 dead voted with double digits THOUSANDS who no longer lived in Nevada were sent ballots by the state of Nevada and voted anyway. More than 85,000 and Trump’s lawyer had (if memory serves me correctly) nine binders of proof. As expected, trash web sites who care NOTHING for the truth or fair and impartial elections slapped up the daily “shot down conspiracy theories” cheap headlines after the GUTLESS OR PARTISAN ignored all the evidence and ruled for vote fraud. While it comes as no shock to me, in too many cases it’s GUTLESS RINO’S in all of the swing states who’ve allowed the American people to be cheated by vote fraud. Not just for the presidency as I wrote about but also Nov. 9, 2020: Illegal Ballots Counted: What About Those House and Senate Seats? I’ve written about this ad nauseum since November 2020. Watched every single committee hearing and followed every single case filed in court presided over by COWARDS in black robes who ALL ignored a major U.S. Supreme Court decision and now well over a year later, courts are now ruling how various laws were broken. There was no victory when the election was rigged. Courts Continue to Invalidate Voting Rules Used During Biden’s 2020 Victory, Jan. 28, 2022 Pennsylvania Court Rules Mail-in Voting Unconstitutional, a Win for Election Integrity, Jan. 28, 2022 – Hey, take your time, judges. By the time you made your ruling the cows weren’t just out of the barn, they were found in Missouri. In Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania, many Republicans fought for and got committee hearings where evidence was presented by some of the best experts in this country when it comes to high-tech shenanigans. Every eye-witness who swore under oath were treated like they were some part time community college kids just learning about computers. A couple of sows (Democrats) during the Georgia hearings acted like they were bored to death. Likely what little brain matter they have was being choked by those face diapers. HOW ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL AND ANTI-AMERICAN. Whether your candidate wins or loses, what really matters is that our elections are conducted openly and fairly instead of what we see in banana republics like Venezuela and other third world crap holes. A lot of Democrats voted for Trump in 2020 and are just as upset as independents and Republicans who cast their vote only to be cheated by scum who call themselves Americans. A lot of Americans gave up their free time for no pay to get out there and gather proof in those swing states Biden absolutely did NOT win the election. All their evidence ignored by “judges” and Democrats Right now out in Wisconsin there’s a fight going on and voters need to organize and drown their state reps and senators in phone calls daily: We demand you decertify the 2020 presidential election or I will do everything in my power to see you defeated in the upcoming primary. August 9th, plenty of time to show them what real Americans can do when they know they’ve been cheated. Fax them until their offices are filled with paper. Call their offices and keep calling. Attend every rally and make your voice heard: We voters were cheated and you don’t give a damn. You will not get my vote because I don’t vote for cowards. BREAKING: Wisconsin Special Counsel Michael Gableman Calls for Decertification of Wisconsin 2020 Election Results (VIDEO), March 1, 2022- Take a hard look at decertifying an election proven to be stolen by human and high technology? My God, Georgia and AZ should have decertified a year ago. I know dozens of GOP senators and other committee members have worked themselves into exhaustion for months not to mention experts like Jovan Pulitzer and proved the election was stolen. What the people in those states need to do is vote out every incumbent in their upcoming primaries who’ve worked hard to keep the truth hidden. They need to hold massive rallies demanding the vote decertified based on fraud. As for AZ’s current Attorney General, Mark Brnovich,whose running for Governor, kiss my you know what. You’ve had the proof for nearly a year and how many have you prosecuted? Four while the planners and their lackeys walk free. Brnovich is the worst kind of professional politician out for himself. One can only pray Kari Lake wins the Republican primary in AZ on August 2nd. I believe, unlike that snake Brnovich, Lake will go after those responsible for the incredible fraud Nov. 3, 2020 and the weeks following to keep the cover-up in place. If she allegedly loses, I would hope Lake files to stop certification and not just say, oh well, maybe next time. She seems like a real warrior to me.

The 67% landslide is BULL. Here’s Why Texas Governor Greg Abbott is Tanking. Huffines and Prather – where are you? Are you just going to walk away without a fight? There were all kinds of problems with those machines and human shenanigans. Both of them need to contact the individuals below after filing to stop certification because I GUARANTEE you, Abbott did not win and neither did our corrupt Attorney General, Ken Paxton. Hey – Louie Gohmert – are you just going to walk away without a fight? No way in Hell do I believe Paxton won the primary. Afraid the socialists (liberals) and progressives (communists) in the prostitute media might call you names? Hell, you’ve been in Congress for 17 years and are quite used to being used as a punching bag by the communists. Beating an incumbent already under indictment should have been a walk in the park. I would urge you to call Gohmert’s district office and tell him to file to stop certification of the vote and do a forensic analysis. He has nothing to lose at this point in his career. Come one, Louie. You talk the big game, now it’s time for action. Gohmert’s office number is: 903-236-8597 or 903-561-6349 The other shocker is the alleged win by RINO Dan Crenshaw [R-TX]. I have received a ton of email from people in his district. They wanted him gone. Old Dan said Trump hater, Liz Chaney, is a “principled leader” and in fact supported her vote to impeach Trump. Chaney, whose been censored by her own GOP party in Wyoming,would be a nobody if not for her famous father, globalist, Dick Chaney. VIDEO: Crowd Boos and Yells “Why Do We Need You” When RINO Dan Crenshaw Gives His Lame Excuse For Why He Hasn’t Helped Jan 6th Detainees – Says it Would Be “A Performance”, Jan. 20, 2022 A hell of a lot of voters here in Texas are really PO’d about the primary last week. They simply don’t believe the numbers, not after all that’s happened since Nov. 3, 2020. Well, it’s now up to the challengers above and heat from voters. All those poltroons out there vomiting on web sites states can’t decertify an election based on fraud should be ashamed of themselves but they aren’t because they have no shame. And they, each and every one of them who supports vote fraud as long as it kept President-Elect Trump out of office, shame the greatness of what this country used to stand for. Attorney Matt DePerno: Yes a state legislature can decertify a national election upon proof of fraud, Sept. 24, 2021 Let me put it this way: A student cheats on a test but the principle lets him get away with it anyway since the cheating wasn’t discovered until six months later. That’s what’s been going on for well over a year and Americans are sick of it. Huffines, Prather and Gohmert need to contact her now: “Counting” Votes, July 15, 2021 – “Draza Smith, Professional Engineer and “rocket” scientist, “what we have here, is a cruise control system.” Smith’s findings have been confirmed by multiple other scientists and mathematicians, including Dr. Frank and Edward Soloman. Someone decided how North Dakota would vote, and they made it happen.” Also contact Seth Keshel. Draza Smith’s Election Analysis – The election was not counted, it was calculated, and we were on cruise control.” — Draza Smith summarizes her findings, in interview with David Clements “Draza Smith is a cyber engineer with two master’s degrees, in electrical engineering and in cyber engineering. She completed her doctoral work in cyber engineering, and awaits defense of her PhD dissertation. She has worked for Sandia National Labs focusing on Cyber and Grid Security. “She explored the 2020 election count data from The New York Times (supplied mostly by Edison Research, with additions by The Associated Press) which shows the proportion of ballots voting for each candidate as the results came in, batch by batch. Her investigations indicate that results in many states may potentially be being manipulated or controlled via a computer algorithm.” If Huffines, Prather, Gohmert and other challengers just walk away, this isn’t going to stop. What will stop is people willing to give their time and money to help get a challenger elected. If the candidate won’t bother making sure the election was fair, why bother supporting he/she or even voting?

- Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Goes Into Liver Cells and Is Converted to DNA: Study
Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Goes Into Liver Cells and Is Converted to DNA: Study (theepochtimes.com) By Meiling Lee March 1, 2022 Updated: March 2, 2022 biggersmaller Print The messenger RNA (mRNA) from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is able to enter human liver cells and is converted into DNA, according to Swedish researchers at Lund University. The researchers found that when the mRNA vaccine enters the human liver cells, it triggers the cell’s DNA, which is inside the nucleus, to increase the production of the LINE-1 gene expression to make mRNA. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cell’s cytoplasm, where it translates into LINE-1 protein. A segment of the protein called the open reading frame-1, or ORF-1, then goes back into the nucleus, where it attaches to the vaccine’s mRNA and reverse transcribes into spike DNA. Reverse transcription is when DNA is made from RNA, whereas the normal transcription process involves a portion of the DNA serving as a template to make an mRNA molecule inside the nucleus. “In this study we present evidence that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 is able to enter the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro,” the researchers wrote in the study, published in Current Issues of Molecular Biology. “BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA as fast as 6 [hours] after BNT162b2 exposure.” BNT162b2 is another name for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine that is marketed under the brand name Comirnaty. The whole process occurred rapidly within six hours. The vaccine’s mRNA converting into DNA and being found inside the cell’s nucleus is something that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said would not happen. “The genetic material delivered by mRNA vaccines never enters the nucleus of your cells,” the CDC said on its web page titled “Myths and Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines.” This is the first time that researchers have shown in vitro or inside a petri dish how an mRNA vaccine is converted into DNA on a human liver cell line, and is what health experts and fact-checkers said for over a year couldn’t occur. The CDC says that the “COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way,” claiming that all of the ingredients in both mRNA and viral vector COVID-19 vaccines (administered in the United States) are discarded from the body once antibodies are produced. These vaccines deliver genetic material that instructs cells to begin making spike proteins found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 to produce an immune response. Pfizer didn’t comment on the findings of the Swedish study and said only that its mRNA vaccine does not alter the human genome. “Our COVID-19 vaccine does not alter the DNA sequence of a human cell,” a Pfizer spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email. “It only presents the body with the instructions to build immunity.” More than 215 million or 64.9 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated as of Feb. 28, with 94 million having received a booster dose. Autoimmune Disorders The Swedish study also found spike proteins expressed on the surface of the liver cells that researchers say may be targeted by the immune system and possibly cause autoimmune hepatitis, as “there [have] been case reports on individuals who developed autoimmune hepatitis after BNT162b2 vaccination.” The authors of the first reported case of a healthy 35-year-old female who developed autoimmune hepatitis a week after her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine said that there is a possibility that “spike-directed antibodies induced by vaccination may also trigger autoimmune conditions in predisposed individuals” as it has been shown that “severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection are characterized by an autoinflammatory dysregulation that contributes to tissue damage,” which the virus’s spike protein appears to be responsible for. Spike proteins may circulate in the body after an infection or injection with a COVID-19 vaccine. It was assumed that the vaccine’s spike protein would remain mostly at the injection site and last up to several weeks like other proteins produced in the body. But studies are showing that is not the case. The Japanese regulatory agency’s biodistribution study (pdf) of the Pfizer vaccine showed that some of the mRNAs moved from the injection site and through the bloodstream, and were found in various organs such as the liver, spleen, adrenal glands, and ovaries of rats 48 hours following injection. In a different study, the spike proteins made in the body after receiving a Pfizer COVID-19 shot have been found on tiny membrane vesicles called exosomes—that mediate cell-to-cell communication by transferring genetic materials to other cells—for at least four months after the second vaccine dose. The persistence of the spike protein in the body “raises the prospect of sustained inflammation within and damage to organs which express the spike protein,” according to experts at Doctors for COVID Ethics, an organization consisting of physicians and scientists “seeking to uphold medical ethics, patient safety, and human rights in response to COVID-19.” “As long as the spike protein can be detected on cell-derived membrane vesicles, the immune system will be attacking the cells that release these vesicles,” they said. Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist, wrote on Twitter that the Swedish study’s findings have “enormous implications of permanent chromosomal change and long-term constitutive spike synthesis driving the pathogenesis of a whole new genre of chronic disease.” Whether the findings of the study will occur in living organisms or if the DNA converted from the vaccine’s mRNA will integrate with the cell’s genome is unknown. The authors said more investigations are needed, including in whole living organisms such as animals, to better understand the potential effects of the mRNA vaccine. “At this stage, we do not know if DNA reverse transcribed from BNT162b2 is integrated into the cell genome. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the effect of BNT162b2 on genomic integrity, including whole genome sequencing of cells exposed to BNT162b2, as well as tissues from human subjects who received BNT162b2 vaccination,” the authors said.

Email - SCOTUS Rules on NC Redistricting - NC Family SCOTUS Rules on NC Redistricting By NC Family Staff March 10, 2022 On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block a new North Carolina congressional map from going into effect for the 2022 election cycle. This map was drawn by a three-judge Superior Court panel last month, after it threw out the congressional map that had been redrawn by state lawmakers. State legislative leaders appealed to the nation’s highest court to block the map drawn by the panel of judges, arguing that the judicial branch was overstepping its authority. North Carolina’s redistricting process has been a long and difficult one over the past year. Here is a rough timeline of the events: 2020: The 2020 Census is conducted, and State lawmakers are required to redraw state legislative and congressional district maps based on this new data. November 2021: New district maps pass the GOP-led General Assembly by party-line votes; multiple lawsuits are filed to challenge the constitutionality of these maps. December 2021: NC Supreme Court delays 2022 primary elections by two months, and orders a panel of State superior court judges to rule on the redistricting lawsuits by January 11. January 2022: A three-judge panel rules the maps were constitutional and do not have to be redrawn; this ruling is immediately appealed to the NC Supreme Court. Early February 2022: NC Supreme Court, which has a 4-3 Democratic majority, rules along party lines that the maps are unconstitutional. Lawmakers are given 10 days to draw new maps, and a three-judge panel is then given five days to approve the new maps or suggest alternative ones. Late February 2022: State lawmakers pass new maps. The three-judge panel upholds the State House and State Senate maps, but throws out the congressional map and submits its own map. After the NC Supreme Court declines to reverse any of the lower court’s decisions, state lawmakers appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking it to throw out the court-drawn congressional map. (Please note: The NC Legislature is the only legal body that can draw these maps. The three retired judges have no legal authority. Why SCOTUS denied the request is another example of the shredding of our Constitution. Please get involved with NCEIT.org to assure that it is easy to vote and hard to cheat so we turn this country back to WE THE PEOPLE.) March 7, 2022: U.S. Supreme Court rules 6-3 to deny the request to block the court-drawn congressional map. With this decision by SCOTUS, “North Carolina should be able to proceed without further legal roadblocks toward the May 17 primary elections,” according to Carolina Journal. The candidate filing period ended last week, and a complete list of candidates can be found on the NC State Board of Elections website. Share this story on your Facebook page!
