North Carolina’s GOP Justices Block Certification of Democratic Justice Who Won Nov. Election

HeadlineJan 09, 2025

In North Carolina, the Republican-dominated state Supreme Court has blocked election officials from certifying the reelection victory of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs. Riggs beat her Republican rival Jefferson Griffin in November’s election by 734 votes — a tally which was confirmed by two recounts. Griffin is attempting to disqualify the votes of some 60,000 North Carolinians in order to overturn his loss but has failed to provide any evidence the votes were unlawful.
