After the 2024 election, the breakdown of the North Carolina Supreme Court is 5 Republicans and 2 Democrats, but it could soon be 6 Republicans and 1 Democrat after the appeals court determined that there were 65,000 questionable votes. The election has not been called because of pending lawsuits and now those 65,000 alleged voters will have 15 days to prove their eligibility or their votes will be canceled. Democrat Justice Allison Riggs will need 64,265 proof of eligibility to get the election victory.
Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin led on election night and maintained his lead for two weeks when Riggs mysteriously (or not) passed Griffin. Griffin then sued over ineligible voters and the race has been in a holding pattern. A lower court ruled that Riggs won, but the appeals court hammered them for failing to uphold state laws. They also blasted the North Carolina State Board of Elections for failing to uphold election laws.
The 65,000 votes were ruled invalid due to incomplete registration information, missing photo identification, or submitted by individuals who have never lived in North Carolina—may be invalid under state and federal election law. All of these things are mandatory due to state election laws. The 2-1 decision was authored by Judges John Tyson and Fred Gore, both registered Republicans. Judge Tobias Hampson, a Democrat, dissented from the majority opinion.
Democrat Allison Riggs was declared the winner in November by just 734 votes—garnering 2,770,412 votes (50.01%) to Griffin’s 2,769,678 (49.99%). The Court ordered 100 counties to notify the alleged voters and to give them 15 days to prove their right to vote. Those who do not come forward will have their votes canceled out.
Judge Griffin argued that thousands of votes were cast by individuals who never completed their registration by providing a valid driver’s license or the last four digits of their Social Security number, as required under state law since 2004.

In its 37-page opinion, the court blasted the North Carolina State Board of Elections for failing to uphold election laws. In fact, the Board itself had used QR codes and mass mailings to communicate with voters—then rejected Griffin’s use of similar methods to notify challenged voters.
The court ruled that the Board’s internal procedures could not override state law, which clearly requires all voters to provide proper registration information and comply with photo ID laws. It also stated that the Board had no authority to “exempt” military and overseas voters from these legal requirements.
In a direct rebuke to the Board’s handling, the court wrote, “To condemn a non-statutory and voluntary method of notice and means to seek additional information, which the Board has repeatedly used, is essentially throwing stones while sitting inside a glass house.”
The State Board of Elections must now notify the 65,000 affected voters, giving them 15 business days to verify their eligibility. If they fail to do so, their ballots will be removed from the final count.
