Summary
The North Carolina Supreme Court, in a 5-1 Republican-led decision, blocked certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs as the winner of a state Supreme Court race.
Riggs leads Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes after recounts, but Griffin claims 60,000 ballots were illegally cast and seeks to have them invalidated.
The court will now hear Griffin’s challenge, with briefs due by January 24.
Democrats criticized the move as partisan, while the lone Democratic justice dissented, arguing there is no basis to delay certification or disrupt the election process.
They don’t have the identity, if I remember right these are mail in ballots with a post date missing or some such. They have the physical ballots they can count, or not.
Nah the article says the voter registrations are missing details like drivers licence and social security numbers. But yeah, the 60k votes could be for anyone. You can only assume he sees a revote as a chance to take another spin at the wheel and maybe this time it will land on red.
