Raleigh’s ABC affiliate reports:
A viral social media post claims that North Carolina’s ballot for the November election has been “manipulated” to hurt former President Donald Trump.
North Carolina state law requires the order of candidates’ names to be determined by a drawing, and election officials have used the same process for many years. First, election officials place 26 balls, each labeled with a letter of the alphabet, in a bingo wheel. An election official spins the wheel until a ball comes out.
This year, the ball showed the letter D. Then, election officials flip a coin to see whether candidates will be listed in alphabetical order (heads) or reverse alphabetical order (tails). This year, the coin showed heads, meaning the candidates would appear on ballots in alphabetical order, starting with the letter D. The candidates are sorted by last name.

Why is there no Republican witnesses? (We all know the Kirsten Bell is a Dem hack). They should have to do… pic.twitter.com/X8Tb4KrYz7
