North Carolina Supreme Court Invalidates Thousands of Votes in November 2024 Election for State Supreme Court Justice

On April 11, the North Carolina Supreme Court issued an opinion in Griffin v North Carolina State Board of Elections, 25-181 P25-104. This is the lawsuit filed by the losing Republican nominee for State Supreme Court Justice in the November 2024 election. The State Supreme Court allowed thousands of challenged votes to be counted, but disallowed thousands of others that had been cast by overseas and military voters.

Some of the invalidated ballots were cast by overseas voters who had “inherited” their connection to North Carolina. They were born overseas, to U.S. citizen-parents who had been domiciled in North Carolina before they took up residence in other countries. Even though the law has long recognized their ability to vote absentee in North Carolina elections, the State Supreme Court invalidated their ballots, which amounts to changing the rules after the election was over.

The North Carolina Supreme Court also said that overseas and military voters who did not provide a copy of their photo-ID with their ballots cannot be counted, unless these voters “cure” their ballots by forwarding such copies in the next few weeks. But the voters had been told that such copies were not required.

The Democratic nominee is now expected to go to federal court.

  1. 14-1 AMDT ***RESIDE***

    HOW MANY STATE CONST HAVE SPECIAL ELECTION LANGUAGE RE MILITARY AND COLLEGE/STUDENT PERSONS ???

  2. Disenfranchise active military like this (I’m sure they really appreciate being accused of fraud, Joe), and they’ll be much less willing to follow any orders the wannabe fuhrer Trump might issue to violently put down dissent against his regime.

  3. Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.

    If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.

  4. unconstitutional stuff can go on for hundreds of years — before a specific case notes the unconstitutional stuff

    esp 1868 14 amdt — now — a mere 157 years later

  5. Richard Winger has deleted most of Stock’s trolling, except his Joshua H. persona. Don’t know why that stays

  6. If you look at Illinois green pages and past candidates lists you can figure out what the H is in Joshua H
