The North Carolina elections board declared this week that it has the power to bar Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) from running for office due to his actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. It insists that it can enforce Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment and declared that he is an insurrectionist.
This seems like the kind of action that would kick off a political assassination or three. I know senators have great private security, but elections board officials? I didn't think they could get any more blatant than the 2020 steal, but kicking a sitting rep off the ballot would do it.
