A North Carolina appellate court has sided with a Republican candidate for judge over his suspicions that his Democrat opponent committed election and voter fraud in the last 2024 election that still has not been resolved.
It has been 151 days since the 2024 election for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court Seat, and on Election Day it was said that Republican Jefferson Griffin lost his election for the seat. Despite supposedly losing by a mere 734 votes, Griffin contested the results. And now a court finds that his arguments of fraud have merit.
Per Just The News:
On the 151st day since Election Day, the North Carolina Supreme Court Seat 6 race – an eight-year term seat – has yet to be decided. Friday’s announced decision, from oral arguments two weeks ago, gives 15 business days after notice for missing data in registration records of voters to be filled in, and overseas voters not providing photo identification as required by law to do so.
The voters who never lived in North Carolina are to be dropped from the totals.
Those instructions – Justices John Tyson and Fred Gore supported the ruling, Tobias Hampson dissented – could be appealed. And, it doesn’t give a clear indication if Griffin or Judge Allison Riggs will be the winner.
Riggs, the Democrat and incumbent on the bench after appointment by then-Gov. Roy Cooper, has been poised for a 734-vote triumph as the litigation saga plays out in multiple lawsuits and in both state and federal courtrooms. Griffin, a state appellate judge, has appealed every decision against him.
The appeals court’s majority opinion spoke of fundamental rights of elections were likely violated.
“This right is violated when ‘votes are not accurately counted (because) (unlawful) () ballots are included in the election results’ The inclusion of even one unlawful ballot in a vote total dilutes the lawful votes and ‘effectively ‘disenfranchises’’ lawful voters,” the decision read.
