NC Supreme Court Race: Ballot Dispute Significantly Reduced
Tap title to read story
North Carolina election officials significantly lowered the number of disputed ballots in the Supreme Court race from over 5,000 to 1,700. This significantly improves the position of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs, who narrowly won reelection against Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin. The reduced number comes after challenges in several counties were deemed invalid due to missed deadlines. The state is working to contact affected voters to verify their eligibility, potentially averting disenfranchisement and solidifying Riggs' victory.
