Republicans with God-like powers

The governor of North Carolina Pat McCrory (R) questioned about shortening the days for early voting, invoked the powers of the universe , time, and logic to say:

PAT MCCRORY: "First of all, we didn't shorten early voting, we compacted the calendar. But we're going to have the same hours in which polls are open in early voting, and we're going to have more polls available. So it's going to be almost identical. It's just the schedule has changed. The critics are kind of using that line when in fact, the legislation does not shorten the hours for early voting."
