NC Gov Race a Toss Up

Cook Political Report: “Our initial rating of this contest, now set between Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein and Republican Lt. Gov.

These insane storms we had in Dallas Texas last night somehow blew the computer the bot was running on.

Give me a day to get it back up and running

Me:

(Ou mata e matagi)
I have crossed the horizon to find you
(Ou loto mamaina toa)
I know your name
(Manatu atu)
They have stolen the heart from inside you
(Taku pelepele)
But this does not define you
(Manatunatu)
This is not who you are
You know who you are

@ArmyGirl @Silba @uspolitics If you're willing to do a bit of reading, page 570-577 covers the topic.
