North Carolina Court Attempts to Overturn Election Result
Tap title to read story
Four Republican justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court attempted to disenfranchise over 5,000 voters, potentially overturning the narrow election victory of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs. This action mirrors the controversial *Bush v. Gore* case, as it selectively targets ballots from four Democratic-leaning counties, violating the principle of uniform election rules. A federal judge temporarily blocked the state from certifying the election results, pending litigation. The justices' actions are based on a claim that military and overseas voters lacked proper photo ID, even though the state's online voting portal didn't request it. This selective disenfranchisement is considered a constitutional violation.
