North Carolina Republican Tries New Strategy For Stealing State Supreme Court Race

Source: Talking Points Memo

North Carolina state appeals court judge and Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin filed a legal brief on Tuesday with the state Supreme Court, laying out his latest argument for why the court should toss out November ballots and overturn the results of the state Supreme Court Race in his favor.

Tuesday’s filing is the latest development in a larger legal saga over Jefferson’s attempt to overturn the results of a fair election that saw Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs win reelection in November.

In this most recent filing before the very court he seeks to sit on, Griffin shifted his strategy in trying to invalidate tens of thousands of votes in order to steal the election from Riggs.

In the Tuesday filing, Griffin urged the court to first invalidate 5,509 overseas ballots, who, he argues, did not show photo identification when they voted, before considering the rest of the 60,000 ballots that he is protesting. Griffin argued that throwing out these 5,509 overseas ballots could be enough to change the results of the election, and if this is the case, the other 60,000 voters might not even need to be considered.
