NC Court Orders Recount in Supreme Court Race | JQJO

A North Carolina appeals court ordered a recount and verification of over 65,000 votes in the 2024 Supreme Court race, potentially shifting the outcome in favor of Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin. The court ruled that voters must provide proof of identity within 15 business days; otherwise, their votes won't be counted. This decision, which overturned a lower court ruling, is being appealed by Democrat Allison Riggs, who narrowly led after recounts. The case hinges on challenges to voter eligibility, with Republicans claiming fraudulent votes and Democrats arguing the ruling disenfranchises voters.
