Big goings-on out of the North Carolina Court of Appeals:
Today, we learned that a 2-1 majority on the appellate court has agreed with Jefferson Griffin's argument, which sets the stage for Griffin to overturn his 734-vote loss to Democratic Justice Allison Riggs in November.
Griffin is asking the courts to toss 60,000+ voters who the state has incomplete information on, even though most of those ballots were cast by North Carolinians who were following the rules on Election Day.
Republicans are asking the courts to change the rules about who gets counted after Election Day — thereby giving a Republican the win.
Judge Toby Hampson, a Democrat on the Court of Appeals, wrote a blistering dissent.
(Griffin) "has yet to identify a single voter—among the tens of thousands Petitioner challenges in this appeal—who was, in fact, ineligible to vote in the 2024 General Election under the statutes, rules, and regulations in place in November 2024 governing that election."
"The proposition that a significant portion of these 61,682 voters will receive notice and timely take curative measures is a fiction that does not disguise the act of mass disenfranchisement the majority’s decision represents," Hampson added.
