Well, NBC said the NC GOP took it back. Apparently the speaker, the head of the NC GOP did not know what she was talking about when she said that the NC GOP collected completed ballots.

"CORRECTION: A previous version of this article quoted a party official as saying completed absentee ballots might have been destroyed in the attack on the Orange County Republican Party office, which was incorrect. The North Carolina Republican Party and its county organizations do not collect completed absentee ballots."

Sitting here posting stuff from my new NYT subscription here. This is a fun one that amuses me. It is an article analyzing the voting map, and comparing polling results to the 2012 voting map, including a lot of observations, one of which is geographic quirks. Sun Valley, and Blaine County, Idaho is called out here:

"A fun one (geographic quirk) is the ski and resort towns of the Rockies — you can see the Democratic enclaves stretching from Taos in northern New Mexico, up the spine of the Rockies to Breckenridge and Aspen. And then there are a few other enclaves — Teton County, which includes Jackson Hole in Wyoming — or Blaine County in Idaho, which has Sun Valley."

In the final weeks of the presidential race, an unlikely duo has thrown its hat — a shirt, actually — into the ring.

A new shirt offered by John Prine's Oh Boy Records proposes a presidential run by the songwriting legend, with modern Americana great Jason Isbell as his running mate.

Their slogan, "Blow up your TV," of course, is a line from Prine's song "Spanish Pipedream," featured on his 1971 debut album.

The presidential run may not be for real, but the partnership certainly is. Prine and Isbell have toured together, and have made it a habit to pop up at one another's shows, particularly at the Ryman Auditorium. On that same stage, Prine presented Isbell with the album of the year prize at last month's Americana Honors & Awards show.

The two songsmiths will share a bill (along with Kacey Musgraves) for a New Year's Eve concert at the Grand Ole Opry House. Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 21.

This isn't the first time a Prine presidential ticket has been proposed. Here's a scene from Juli Thanki's review of his concert at the Ryman in March:

“John Prine for president!” a fan hollered midway through the songwriting great’s Friday night show at the Ryman Auditorium. As the packed house cheered, Prine grinned, then shook his head and crossed his arms to form an "X"— an emphatic “no.”

Seriously? This guy is an estranged half-brother, who isn't a citizen, can't vote, and has no ties whatsoever to the Clintons. And this is your fucking secret weapon, Cheeto Voldemort? [roll eyes]

Okay, a few things just right off the top of my head:

a) He's got nothing. He doesn't know how to handle a woman he can't fire, intimidate or sexually harass so he's just being an erratic dick
b) Obama's recent comments about him stung, so this is a really lame and ineffectual way to try and get back at him .... I guess.
c) This is a dogwhistle to remind his birther/KKK-sympathizer supporters that the last president the country elected was (whispers) black and also a KenyanMuslimSocialist. So they'd better get out and vote because Hillary might turn out to have been a furrin' black woman in whiteface for the past 70 years.
