Finally the last outstanding race in North Carolina was called for Allison Riggs. She was elected to the state Supreme Court and has been serving as such since the November 2025 election.
I’ve written about this before.
Her opponent objected mightily to being bested by a woman and a Democrat and he pitched a well-funded fit. Where did the money come from to file these appeals and court cases? No one is telling.
But we can all guess.
He wanted to change the rules of the election AFTER the election.
Remember, I warned y’all that this was a test case for future tomfoolery around elections that the Republicans don’t win. And, boy, was I right. I hate it when I am right about this kind of bullshit.
Earlier in the week a federal court decision came out in favor of Riggs. (you know, the declared winner although those sore loser wouldn’t certify the race). Judge Myers wrote that to allow the rules to be changed after the election to suit one side that to allow the uprooting lawfully cast votes could lead to undermining of public opinion. He ordered the state to certify the election. Finally.
This was Monday.
So why did it take until Wednesday for Griffin, the one who wanted to throw out lawfully case votes and the party that backed him, to concede? Again I ask there the millions of dollars to fund this came from?
No need to ask it they will try again.
They will.
But for now Allison Riggs has retained her seat on the NC Supreme Court.
But we have to wary of this bs being pulled on other races in other states.
The country will be watching.
