In a significant ruling, the North Carolina Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs' election victory over GOP challenger Jefferson Griffin. Riggs leads by 734 votes in a contentious race involving claims of illegal ballots. Griffin's challenge targets about 60,000 ballots, prompting accusations of partisan maneuvering. The court, with a Republican majority, aims to review the case expeditiously, raising concerns among Democrats about potential disenfranchisement and the integrity of the electoral process. The ruling signifies heightened political tensions in North Carolina's judiciary.
