Summary
North Carolina’s State Board of Elections rejected Republican efforts to discard over 60,000 ballots in a closely contested state Supreme Court race where Democrat Justice Allison Riggs leads Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes after two recounts.
The GOP alleged irregularities, including missing voter ID data, but failed to identify any ineligible voters.
Democrats argued the challenges aimed to disenfranchise lawful voters.
The board’s decision, largely along party lines, could still be appealed in court, leaving the race and three state legislative contests unresolved.
Critics warn the challenges undermine democracy.

Maybe we start from the bottom up. Republicans have gerrymandered and won Supreme Court seats in states that affect elections. Democrats could start there
Time to strip the governor of their powers.
Sounds familiar…
