The death toll from Hurricane Helene has risen to 200 as rescuers continue to search for survivors from the storm that tore across the US south-east.
More than half of the deaths were in North Carolina, where entire communities were uprooted and devastated by the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005.
Hundreds of people are still missing and nearly a million homes are without power nearly a week after Helene made landfall.
Most of these places are so devastated that there is no infrastructure left to allow voting to happen with. Many of the hit places are republican strongholds. Withholding funding will only hurt Republicans.
So let them try this, it’s their own asses on the line
Asheville is the hardest hit area from what I understand and it’s extremely blue.
