North Carolina is no longer classified as a democracy

[Witchit]

In the just released EIP report, North Carolina’s overall electoral integrity score of 58/100 for the 2016 election places us alongside authoritarian states and pseudo-democracies like Cuba, Indonesia and Sierra Leone. If it were a nation state, North Carolina would rank right in the middle of the global league table – a deeply flawed, partly free democracy that is only slightly ahead of the failed democracies that constitute much of the developing world.

Indeed, North Carolina does so poorly on the measures of legal framework and voter registration, that on those indicators we rank alongside Iran and Venezuela. When it comes to the integrity of the voting district boundaries no country has ever received as low a score as the 7/100 North Carolina received. North Carolina is not only the worst state in the USA for unfair districting but the worst entity in the world ever analyzed by the Electoral Integrity Project.

That North Carolina can no longer call its elections democratic is shocking enough, but our democratic decline goes beyond what happens at election time. The most respected measures of democracy — Freedom House, POLITY and the Varieties of Democracy project — all assess the degree to which the exercise of power depends on the will of the people: That is, governance is not arbitrary, it follows established rules and is based on popular legitimacy.

The extent to which North Carolina now breaches these principles means our state government can no longer be classified as a full democracy.

Okay, so now that's two dudes that don't actually know how to;

1) read

2) process information.

[Shrimpbox]

Did I miss something? The people of NC voted for president and the majority voted for trump? This is undemocratic how? It's just amazing how so many of you libs don't have a life. I hope meals on wheels comes by with some turkey and it's not a democrat. Merry Christmas.

I will keep a running total, though. That's three of you who are in favor of that form of governance, which is NOT a democracy.

Edit: Four.

Any state that has a non elected Supreme Court is not a democracy. So the question is crap at its base.

Is that the same way you feel about your cult's 5 in-pocket Justices in the USSC determining that marriage no longer extends the benefit to children involved of either a mother or father for life?

Seems your ilk was perfectly fine when their tiny oligarchy told all of America's children "no more protection for you in the marriage institution...it's now a free-for-all...good luck on your formative years!!"..

 

[Zander]

I read the article. I also google the "Electoral Integrity Project". This is literally "FAKE NEWS".

EIP is run by a bunch of LWNJ's. Wanna know where they get their funding? Here's the list of the Electoral Integrity Project's partners - and what do you know? George Soros' Open Society Foundation is prominently listed. So is the Soros-funded Sunlight Foundation.



Critical thinking- it is something LWNJ's lack. They prefer their "fake news" spoon fed to them!

You seem pretty confused. The conservatives won an election done in a representative republic style of government.

Do you, or do you not want a democracy? You understand a true democracy is run by referendum, right?

The least democratic part of our government is the Supreme Court. You understand that, right?

I'd be just fine with a True Democracy actually, cuz I'd win just about every way possible. In a representative republic I am forced to make a reasonable argument.

That's something you wouldn't understand.

Let it go Pumpkin. Let it go.

 

[Preacher]

I live in North Carolina snowflake OP...I have ZERO problems with our government. The only problem with the election was the democrats cheating and refusing to look at the election results that were fraught with fraud and cheating.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

I read the article and it is a joke. The people that wrote it lied there ass off. You are butt hurt that NC went to Trump.

You do realize that higher education does nothing for your political acumen, right?
