NC Justice Fights to Count Overseas Ballots
Tap title to read story
North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, recused from a case involving contested ballots, criticized the court's decision to potentially discard thousands of overseas voters' ballots. She argued this disrespects voters and vowed to fight the ruling in federal court. The decision follows a state Supreme Court ruling that mostly upheld the votes, but sided with Republican Jefferson Griffin on specific arguments. While the NCGOP claims the ruling ensures only legal votes are counted, Justice Riggs maintains her commitment to ensuring all eligible votes are included.
