Today, more than six months after voters elected me to keep my seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court, my opponent conceded the election. Read my statement here.

Well, this is at least one good sign. We’re still in a democracy and not in what Republicans want, a theocratic oligarchy, where the constitution is diminished.
I would love for him to apologize to the voters his group called illegal, and to the board of elections for attacking the electoral system while blaming/gaslighting it
Minnesotan here cheering for you finally to have this nightmare end. He should have to pay back everyone who invested time and energy into his Trumpian BS pursuit of not accepting a fair election result.
NEVER let the voters forget that a MAGA so called judge tried to take votes away from military, overseas voters, minorities and even his own base. EVERY election be ready for MAGA corruption.
Yay!! And congratulations Justice Riggs for finally winning the fight for all North Carolinians! Unfortunately, Republican Party members such as, Jefferson Griffin, seem hellbent on following the law and on denying our legal votes! But we won’t let them win without a fight! And you stood strong!! 👏👏
how were people, whose public voting information appeared correct, pulled into this mess? voters here don’t understand
voters elsewhere don’t realize the need to contact their board of elections to verify their information, when everything seems correct & they’ve been actively voting for years
Finally some good news! So happy that you did not back down and give in to the sore loser who was trying to strip us of our right to vote! Congratulations 🎉

I wish your opponent was required to repay all court costs for wasting everyone’s time and money. It’s the least he should do.
Is wishes were fishes…
seriously tho, some of us challenged because of voter record not linking to other systems-we had no way to know that
do yourself a solid and visit your boe to make sure their internal records on you are all good
BTW, your campaign staffer I ran into several times (Asheville) did a great job!
He never should have challenged you. I am sorry that you had to go through that, but so proud that you fought back so damn strong!
we didn’t give up either
more work to come
voters elsewhere don’t realize the need to contact their board of elections to verify their information, when everything seems correct & they’ve been actively voting for years
But voters need to be made aware of how this happens and how they can prevent their vote from being cancelled
Whoever fought for this needs some time to celebrate and revel in some joy
