Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.

Story to come. The topline: If this holds, this would almost assuredly result in an overturned election, as Griffin trails by 734 votes and many of these contested ballots are disproportionately Democrats over Republicans. #ncpol

This is also illegal, if they can do this, they can remove anyone if they just throw out enough votes.
And there's still the federal court.
So having openly political leaning 'judges' might not be the best idea...
You like unbiased referees in sports.
Imagine if the ref just wore a Raiders hat during the game.
Decide if your courts should have actual rulings based on rules or if it's just gonna be like wrestling.
This all pretty much started in 94 and then 2000 happened and we didn’t even protest.
Please don’t paint all of us with a wide brush.
This has been gut wrenching and challenging, but we will prevail
😡🤬🤬
This is the list from January 2025 when all this first started.

good luck, jackass.

Judge Riggs won the election fairly! The recount confirms that she won. The people of North Carolina must demand that Judge Riggs be sworn in immediately!
And Griffin is nothing but a sore loser and a political hack! Griffin is a disgrace!
Is democracy dead in North Carolina? They let Mark Harris get away with cheating way back and now every maga gets to lie and cheat in North Carolina.
Never trust a Republican, they lie.
Be penalized
The Elections Board, Riggs, and perhaps affected voters are going to have to seek relief from federal court, and eventually the 4th Circuit.
If we start allowing creative retroactive disenfranchisement arguments to succeed after elections are conducted, targeting specific groups of voters that one party might benefit from disenfranchising, we are in a deeply, deeply unconstitutional place.
We are in a deeply, deeply unconstitutional state.
The part where a disqualified seditious rapist was put into the presidency, in direct violation of the constitution, has made that clear.
Truly, her battle is our collective battle for fair elections! I can’t imagine how stressful & expensive all of this is for her personally.
We are behind you, Justice Riggs, & we thank you!

They must have some REALLY horrifying stuff planned to put on the docket if they're trying to ram-rob in their rubberstamp judge so bad.
