    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION COUNTY OF WAKE FILE NO.: 19-CVS-0025 MARK E. HARRIS, ) Petitioner ) ) v. ) ) THE NORTH CAROLINA ) PETITIONER MARK E. HARRIS' BIPARTISAN STATE BOARD OF ) MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT ELECTIONS AND ETHICS ) OF A WRIT OF MANDAMUS ENFORCEMENT a/k/a THE ) NORTH CAROLINA STATE ) BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND ) ETHICS ENFORCEMENT, ) Respondent ) In response to this Court's invitation for briefing, Dr. Mark E. Harris ("Dr. Harris") submits this Memorandum of Law in Support of his Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the Executive Director of the North Carolina Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement (the "Bipartisan Board") to issue a Certificate of Election immediately. In the alternative, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the North Carolina State Board of Elections (the "State Board") to issue a Certificate of Election as soon as it is able. In addition, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the staff of the Bipartisan Board to release any investigation materials or report into election irregularities in North Carolina's Ninth Congressional District (the "Ninth District"), so as to remove the cloud that the Board has placed over Dr. Harris' election. INTRODUCTION On December 28, 2018, the Bipartisan Board dissolved. The General Assembly has created no immediately active successor. The Bipartisan Board's dissolution leaves the State without any body to oversee its election laws. The gap created by the Bipartisan Board's dissolution has thrown the 2018 general election cycle—a cycle that should have ended no later than December 28, 2018—into chaos.

  • 2005 State Laboratory Program Workload Survey
    2005 State Laboratory Program Workload Survey Summary Graphs and Data by NCSLI Legal Metrology Committee FL PR Jun’05 Rev 1 Acknowledgements The State Laboratory Program and all the state metrologists associated with it would like to acknowledge Henry Oppermann and the many contributions he has made to legal metrology in the United States. Along with John Taylor, Henry literally wrote the book on metrology. Nearly twenty years after its publication, NBS Handbook 145, Handbook for the Quality Assurance of Metrological Measurements, remains inarguably the most important reference to legal metrology in the United States. Henry trained many of us in the State Laboratory Program and shaped the programs we manage today. We owe much to his patient explanations, clear derivations, and quest to always want to know more. Even after leaving the management of the State Laboratory Program, his continuing support has allowed Georgia Harris to push our laboratories to ever higher standards. He has never lost sight of the importance of the metrology laboratory as the foundation of both legal metrology and industrial measurement. We wish him the very best in his retirement. Henry, thanks for the support and guidance you have given to the State Laboratory Program throughout the years. You have touched us all and improved the lives of everybody who has ever bought, sold, or manufactured a product based on weight or other measure in the United States. Your work is and will continue to be truly appreciated. The committee would like to extend a special Thank You to Ken Fraley, Oklahoma Bureau of Standards, for his work in assembling the massive amount of data into the form before you.

Ilhan Omar Twitter Network (References to @IlhanMN and IlhanMN, Sept. 12-Nov. 4, 2018) 2 / #ISLAMOPHOBIA 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Two American Muslim members of Congress, Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, have become the primary targets of President Donald Trump’s xenophobic 2020 reelection cam- paign rhetoric. But the vilification of the pair began the moment they entered national poli- tics in the 2018 midterm elections. This paper examines the experiences of Omar, Tlaib, and other Muslim candidates who ran in the midterms. While many Muslim candidates reported limited encounters with Islamophobia among their constituents, we found a social media nar- rative of manufactured outrage that was disproportionately Islamophobic, xenophobic, racist, and misogynistic. It was heavily influenced by a small number of agents provocateurs, whose hate-filled messages and disinformation were amplified by networks of accounts operating on a scale that signals the involvement of organized networks.
