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.

    No worries, I was saying violence is an answer if things get too far, but co-ops are much preferred, having done some electrical work for small ones in the north east. Refreshing to be treated like a human for once.

    I think there’s a marked lack of education about what they are/how they work, all it takes is one mutton-head to say it’s communist and everyone scatters in fear.
