Federal judge says results of North Carolina court race with Democrat ahead must be certified

  • Federal Judge Richard Myers directed the State Board of Elections in North Carolina to finalize the results of the November 2024 Supreme Court race, confirming Democrat Allison Riggs’s narrow victory over Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes.
  • Myers made this ruling after Griffin filed formal protests seeking to remove ballots he claimed were unlawfully cast, aiming to overturn Riggs' narrow lead.
  • Myers wrote that removing ballots six months after Election Day would violate voters’ constitutional due process and equal protection rights, rejecting retroactive changes to election rules.
  • Myers stated, "You don’t change them after the game is done," warning that retroactive election rule changes cause confusion and damage public confidence.
  • The judge delayed his ruling for seven days to allow Griffin to appeal, but his order preserves Riggs' narrow victory and her seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court.
