"Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.
.
Last November, North Carolina held elections for a seat on the state Supreme Court. Allison Riggs, the Democratic candidate, sought election to the seat she had been appointed to in 2023. Her opponent Jefferson Griffin was a conservative Republican serving on the state’s Court of Appeals.
.
Riggs won the election by a narrow margin. After a full machine recount and partial hand count, her victory was confirmed by 734 votes. Griffin chose not to concede; instead, backed by the national Republican Party, he continued to fight. Rather than target a few hundred ballots that might eke out a narrow victory, Griffin went scorched earth — seeking to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters chosen exclusively from four overwhelmingly blue counties."
