North Carolina Supreme Court passing for now on ruling if ballots in close race are valid

Associated Press  

RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina Supreme Court dismissed on Wednesday a request by the trailing candidate in an extremely close race for a seat on this same court to rule now on whether well over 60,000 ballots should be removed from the tally. After recounts and the election board’s dismissal of Griffin’s election protests, Riggs leads Griffin — a judge on the intermediate-level Court of Appeals — by 734 votes from more 5.5 million ballots cast in the race. The decision to dismiss Griffin’s petition for what’s called a “writ of prohibition” was unanimous among the six justices who deliberated — Riggs is still on the court but recused herself in the case. With Election Day held 2 1/2 months ago, the order directs the Wake County court to “proceed expeditiously” considering Griffin’s appeals. “It is understandable that petitioner and many North Carolina voters are questioning how this could happen,” Newby wrote, adding that Griffin “has a legal right to inquire into this outcome through the statutorily enacted procedures available to him.” But Associate Justice Anita Earls, the only Democrat deliberating the case, wrote that the temporary stay preventing the certification of Riggs’ victory should have been dismissed as well.
