Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin faces a deadline to respond to court filings in his election dispute with the State Board of Elections and Democrat Allison Riggs. The state Supreme Court has set this deadline for Friday at 11 a.m. The elections board and Riggs are seeking an order to block the Appeals Court’s decision and want the high court to take up the case. Griffin challenged over 65,000 ballots, leading to a dispute over the 2024 state Supreme Court election results.
Both parties in the case have filed petitions seeking Supreme Court review, emphasizing the importance of the case for the voters of North Carolina. The Appeals Court had ordered a recalculation of votes based on Griffin’s challenges to ballots from Incomplete Voter Registration voters, overseas voters without photo identification, and individuals who had never lived in North Carolina.
The case has sparked a debate over voter enfranchisement and the validity of ballots. The court is facing the challenge of determining which votes should be counted, with potential implications for the outcome of the 2024 election. With Riggs recused from the case, the Republican majority on the state Supreme Court may play a crucial role in the decision.
As North Carolina grapples with the unprecedented legal battle over the 2024 state Supreme Court election results, both sides are preparing their arguments for what could be a landmark ruling with far-reaching consequences for the state’s electoral system.
