Federal judges pause North Carolina's review of disputed ballots in the 2024 Supreme Court race.

Federal judges have temporarily halted North Carolina from discarding or contacting voters about disputed ballots in the 2024 state Supreme Court race. This ruling benefits Democratic Justice Allison Riggs, who leads by 734 votes over Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin. Griffin challenged over 65,000 ballots, but the court's stay prevents the state from reviewing these ballots or contacting affected voters until further legal proceedings.
