FourEggeritis Spreading in State Government

We know about sanitizing official meeting minutes in Watauga County, in order to present to history a version of frictionless voter suppression.

Now we learn about a higher-stakes game of rewriting official government documents in order to deny poor people access to relief under the Affordable Care Act and to build a bogus case for privatizing Medicaid in North Carolina.

Whizzes at creating fantasy realities, these Republican overlords.
