The North Carolina Court of Appeals recently ruled that over 60,000 voters may need to prove their identity or risk having their ballots discarded. This ruling poses significant implications for the upcoming Supreme Court race between Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin and Democratic incumbent Justice Allison Riggs. If upheld, the decision could shift the balance of power on the state Supreme Court and set a precedent for challenging voter validity. Riggs, having received more votes, plans to appeal the ruling that she claims threatens voter disenfranchisement and undermines democratic processes.
Hampson wrote that the voters followed every rule they were told to during the election, and that Griffin should not be allowed to change the rules post-election.
Riggs stated that she would appeal the deeply misinformed decision threatening to disenfranchise over 65,000 lawful voters, calling it a dangerous precedent.
