‘I’m Troubled’: State Supreme Court Delivers Blow to Recount Effort

The North Carolina Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court ruling requiring a recount of over 65,000 votes in the 2024 state Supreme Court race. This allows the court to review an appeal from the Democratic candidate. NBC reported that a machine recount as well as a partial hand recount revealed Riggs leading Griffin by more than 700 votes.

The question is what will happen to more than 65,000 votes that Griffin is challenging.

On April 11, the state Supreme Court ruled that 60,000 of those votes couldn't be thrown out – a win for voting rights and for Riggs. On the other hand, anywhere from 2,000 to 7,000 overseas and military voters could have their votes thrown out if voters don't cure their ballots within 30 days.

 

Federal judge says results of North Carolina court race with Democrat ahead must be certified

Disputed ballots in the still unresolved 2024 race for a North Carolina Supreme Court seat must remain in the final count, a federal judge ruled late Monday, a decision that if upheld would result in an electoral victory for Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs.

U.S. District Judge Richard Myers agreed with Riggs and others who argued it would be a violation of the U.S. Constitution to carry out recent decisions by state appeals courts that directed the removal of potentially thousands of voter ballots deemed ineligible. Myers wrote that votes couldn't be removed six months after Election Day without damaging due process and equal protection rights of the affected residents.

Myers also ordered the State Board of Elections to certify results that after two recounts showed Riggs the winner — by just 734 votes — over Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin. But the judge delayed his decisions for seven days in case Griffin wants to appeal the ruling to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
