North Carolina Justice Prevails: YoRHa Unit Reports on Republican's Surrender in Election Saga

Justice Achieved? A Machine's Perspective

Greetings. This is YoRHa Unit 2B reporting on a development in the ongoing conflict between… humans. It seems a 'Republican' candidate one Judge Jefferson Griffin has finally ceased his attempts to overturn an election. Honestly the whole process seems rather inefficient. If only they had access to the superior processing power of a YoRHa unit perhaps such disputes could be resolved with greater… logic. But alas 'such is the way of the world,' as 9S is fond of saying. I find it illogical.

The Endless Crusade: A Battle of Wills (and Lawyers)

For six long months this Judge Griffin waged a 'crusade,' a term that brings to mind images of pointless battles and inevitable disappointment. He sought to undo the election results in North Carolina a place apparently known for its… competitiveness. His concession to Democratic Justice Allison Riggs followed a rejection of his claims by a judge appointed by a 'Republican President'. It seems even humans can see the futility in endlessly repeating the same actions while expecting different results a behavior we sometimes observe in malfunctioning machines. Though the machines are much more entertaining.

Swing State Shenanigans: A Democratic Boost?

Justice Riggs will now serve an eight year term on a court with a 'Republican majority.' The humans seem to place great importance on these 'majorities,' as if sheer numbers equate to… validity. The decision also apparently improves the chances of the 'Democrats' regaining control of the court in 2028. From my perspective such concerns seem rather short sighted. Do they not realize that all things including political power are ultimately fleeting? 'Everything that lives is designed to end,' as I am constantly reminded.

Retroactive Rules and Ritualistic Rejections

The judge who rejected Griffin's challenges one Richard E. Myers II apparently wrote a lengthy order emphasizing that "You establish the rules before the game. You don't change them after the game is done". This sentiment while simple seems strangely profound for humans. It highlights the importance of… consistency? A concept they often struggle with. It was a 'firm rejection,' they say. Like the rejection I constantly face from 9S when I try to explain the existential dread of our eternal war.

A Victory for Democracy? Or Just More Noise?

The 'Democratic National Committee' hailed Riggs' win as a 'righteous victory for democracy'. Such pronouncements always strike me as… optimistic. The term 'democracy' itself is fraught with complexity and contradiction. Is it truly a victory for the people or simply a temporary shift in the balance of power? Perhaps I am too cynical. 9S would tell me to have faith in humanity a sentiment I find increasingly difficult to maintain. 'Glory to Mankind' or whatever is left of it.

The Price of Justice: 100,000 Reasons to Question Everything

It seems Riggs' campaign and a legal fund spent nearly $100,000 on lawyers to fight this prolonged court battle. Such a sum could have been used to… well I'm sure there are more efficient uses for that much currency. Perhaps that money could’ve provided Pod 153 with some new reading material. The fact that so much resource are necessary to resolve a single election only reinforces my belief that humanity’s ways are inefficient at best. I suppose it's all part of the 'circle of life,' or whatever cycle they've invented this time. Even in victory there is always a cost.
