I don't know about North Carolina but in some states they used to simply cancel out your absentee ballot if you voted in person on election day.

EVIDENCE.

I love how conservatives think most people will just fall for he said she said. "My friend got a mail in ballot for his CAT. I'm telling you it's RIGGED." They expect most people, that aren't Trump supporters, to just go and believe it, not verified sources at all. Truly shows their anti-intellectual mentality full frontal.

Nearly 100 Republican and independent leaders will endorse Democrat Joe Biden for president on Thursday, including one-time 2020 Republican presidential candidate Bill Weld and the former Republican governors of Michigan and New Jersey, people involved in the effort told Reuters.

I'm starting to think republicans like chickenhead trump in office.

Why?

Because other wise you have an aging ruling class who keeps getting reelected over and over with little new blood and a stagnating agenda.

You asked a good question so I read up on counter arguments to my opinion. They make a solid case against: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2018/01/18/five-reasons-to-oppose-congressional-term-limits/

Markey and Kennedy are not terribly different: Massachusetts liberals and career politicians. They'll respond to their constituencies and to the political climate. Markey has some of the bad votes common for Dems with long Congressional careers (crime bill, Iraq war, Patriot Act) but avoided some of the others (Reagan and Bush tax cuts, welfare reform, DOMA). An Irish Catholic baby boomer being antiabortion in the 70's is really not that shocking, and it's more relevant that he's had a 100% from NARAL for two or three decades straight.

On balance I think Markey's probably a better bet for the next six years. He's further left in the Voteview and Govtrack rankings for whatever you think that's worth. Kennedy was mostly trying to differentiate himself on constituent services while Markey's signature issue is leading on the GND.

But even if they were totally interchangeable, it was important for Sunrise, Our Revolution, AOC etc. that they get the win here. They planted their flag in a high profile fight and after this (and the challenges to the Squad members) they can credibly promise to protect incumbents who sign on to their agenda. That might be leaving out a lot of the story of the election, but loudly taking credit for good results is something interest groups do.

What lessons to take from this? Primarily, that politics Twitter is deranged and disconnected from reality. But also that center-left politicians will support a progressive agenda if you can make it worth their while.

Quote
Trump remained fixated on McCain, one of the few prominent Republicans to continue criticizing him after he won the nomination. When McCain died, in August 2018, Trump told his senior staff, according to three sources with direct knowledge of this event, “We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,” and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser,” the president told aides. Trump was not invited to McCain’s funeral.

I feel good about Michigan. Things could change but the governor's response to Covid has clearly worked, and the sec of state is going to ensure every vote is counted. I see people saying that mail-in ballots are going to dominate the rolls in multiple states but honestly, after seeing what we saw in the primaries...I think people are going to come out and vote in-person too, in massive numbers. For both candidates.

Like in the Michigan primary for instance, Biden got nearly 250k more votes than Hillary or Bernie did in 2016. Lots of people are going to vote. I just hope those that vote via mail turn their shit in early...
