NC Court Blocks Democratic Justice’s Win, Sparking Outrage
Following a contested North Carolina Supreme Court election, Republicans on the court temporarily blocked the certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs’s victory. This action, stemming from a GOP challenger’s attempt to invalidate over 60,000 votes, despite Riggs winning by 734 votes after recounts, is seen by Democrats as a blatant attempt to seize power. The move has drawn widespread criticism, with accusations of voter disenfranchisement and undermining democratic processes. The court’s actions raise concerns about the future of fair elections and the potential overturning of the election results.
