NC elections board says it can disqualify Rep. Cawthorn from running over January 6

The North Carolina State Board of Elections said that it has the power to block GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn from running for reelection over his role in the January 6 insurrection -- an open legal question at the center of liberal-backed efforts to disqualify him from future office.

2. That would leave a mark.

3. It would appear to me that it is exactly the state secretaries of state/state elections boards/

whatever the state has established for this purpose who do have the authority to determine eligibility to be on the ballot. That's their job.

4. Reading this & other articles, I have a question

Wouldn’t the same legal strategy (if it works) apply to County Commissioners who are 1/6 defendants?
Anyone know?

5. Fourteenth Amendment , Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

9. I don't know if our Cowboys for Trump 1/6 defendant County Commissioners...

… is going to run again or not. His term is up. I asked a friend if any NM attorneys she knows would accept $300 to consider how to do the same for Couy Griffin. She said I’d be insulting any attorney for that.
If he doesn’t file in March, it’s moot.

6. Success here opens the door for others to face state charges if they played a role

He's a clown.
