🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

A federal district court just ordered the certification of the NC Supreme Court election, reaffirming what we already knew — Allison Riggs won. You can’t change the rules of an election after it has occurred.

Jefferson Griffin needs to concede and end this travesty.

BREAKING: U.S. District Court Judge Richard Myers orders the NC State Board of Elections to certify a 734-vote win for Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs and rejects all of Griffin's election protests. Judge stays order for one week so Griffin may appeal. #ncpol

Wrongly labeled 'never residents' must have votes counted, state elections officials conclude Citing reporting from Anderson Alerts in partnership with The Assembly and Popular Information, several voters wrongly labeled as "never residents" will have their ballots counted.

I'll be totally honest. At 3am on Saturday, my heart sank as I combed through my spreadsheet and discovered wrongly listed "never residents." I've barely slept since and didn't think my reporting would make any difference. At least for now, it has. #ncpol

Today, I was honored to join North Carolinian voters, including veterans and military families, to stand up against attempts to disenfranchise overseas and military voters. We will not give up and we will not be silenced.

At least 16 'never residents' who are poised to have ballots tossed have actually lived in North Carolina A preliminary review shows many of the 260 voters stand to have their ballots wrongly removed. The North Carolina Court of Appeals is expected to soon direct elections officials to toss out the votes.

BREAKING: The North Carolina Supreme Court temporarily pauses appeals court order requiring up to 65k voters to "cure" deficiencies from their November ballots or risk disenfranchisement. More to come.

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate.

This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

‘These are not normal times,’ Sen. Cory Booker says in record-breaking Senate speech • NC Newsline U.S. Sen. Cory Booker broke the record for longest floor speech in the history of the Senate, surpassing Strom Thurmond's record set in 1957

“This is not right or left. It is right or wrong. This is not a partisan moment. It is a moral moment. Where do you stand?”’ Sen. Cory Booker says in record-breaking Senate speech ncnewsline.com/2025/04/02/t... @newjerseymonitor.com #ncpol #nc

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Voter suppression is the ultimate weapon of an autocracy and fascism. This includes laws that limit the time to vote and further limit the time to count legitimate votes as the GOP has done in North Carolina. #Resist #VoteBlue #ncpol #ncga #NorthCarolina
