A North Carolina appeals court ruled that more than 65,000 ballots, which were cast by voters believed to be eligible, could be challenged, potentially altering the results of the closely contested November supreme court election. The ruling followed a Republican effort, led by Judge Jefferson Griffin, who lost the election. The court's majority stated counting unlawful votes disenfranchises legal voters. Riggs plans to appeal the decision, highlighting concerns over disenfranchisement and the implications of political influence on the electoral process. The issue will next be reviewed by the state supreme court, where Riggs will be recused due to her position.
The 2-1 ruling from the North Carolina court of appeals allows nearly 65,000 ballots to be challenged, potentially overturning the state supreme court election results.
Riggs warned that the ruling sets a dangerous precedent, enabling politicians to undermine legal voters and dismiss the will of the electorate.
