Federal judge says North Carolina court-Democratic competition results must be certified
Raleigh, N.C. (AP) – A federal judge ruled Monday night that the controversial ballot must remain on the final charge in the 2024 unresolved 2024 contest for the 2024 Supreme Court seat, a decision that if the maintainer would lead to an election victory for Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Myers agreed with Riggs and others that it would be the court to conduct the latest ruling of the National Court of Appeals that violated the U.S. Constitution, which directed the cancellation of thousands of voter votes to be considered unqualified. Myers wrote that the vote could not be deleted six months after the day of the election without undermining due process and equal protection of affected residents.
Miles also ordered the state election commission to prove the results, and after two reintroductions, Riggs won 734 votes on Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin. But the judge delayed his decision for seven days in case Griffin wanted to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
The board of directors “is not allowed to enforce orders from the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court, but must prove the election results based on statistics after the canvassing period,” said Myers, nominated by President Donald Trump as Myers on the bench.
Starting from the November election, it was the last uncertain game in the United States to vote more than 5.5 million votes. Griffin formally protested after the election, hoping that the ballots he said he was voting illegally would turn the results to him.
Griffin's legal team reviewed Myers' orders and evaluated the next step on Monday night.
Riggs got more assurance in her statement: “Today, we won. I am proud to continue to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law for the Supreme Court of North Carolina.”
Griffin wants Myers to leave an undisturbed state court ruling, which also indicates that most voters with unqualified voters will receive a 30-day vote to provide identifying information for their game choice to stay in the statistics.
Riggs, the State Democrat and some affected voters said Griffin tried to change the results of the 2024 election after the facts to remove voters' votes written last fall.
Myers wrote that Griffin dismissed formal post-election protests after the election, which constituted an effort to make retroactive changes to the voting law, where only Griffin's voters would arbitrarily deprive them of their right to vote. Griffin's challenge to photo ID is only covered in up to six Democratic-leaning counties in the state.
Myers wrote in 68 pages: “You build rules before the game.
Citing other cases, he added: “Allowing parties to 'subvert the rules of elections' after the election' can only cause 'confusion and turmoil'.
Democrats and voting rights groups have alerted Griffin's efforts. They say it is an attack on democracy and it will serve as a roadmap for the Republican Party to reverse future elections. State Republicans said Griffin is seeking to ensure only legal votes are counted.
