Republicans in North Carolina are attempting to overturn a closely watched state Supreme Court election where Democratic Justice Allison Riggs holds a slim lead over her GOP opponent, Judge Jefferson Griffin, by 734 votes. The GOP's legal strategy involves challenging roughly 65,000 ballots, including those affected by Hurricane Helene, without presenting evidence of voter fraud.
The challenges primarily focus on technicalities such as missing identification numbers on voter registration forms. Critics argue that this approach sets a dangerous precedent of disenfranchising voters based on clerical errors.
