Jefferson Griffin, the Republican candidate for N.C. Supreme Court, has filed protests over 60,000 votes improperly cast for a number of reasons in the 2024 General Election. These protests are available to any candidate following an election to ensure there are no irregularities that could have changed the outcome.
Griffin’s protests fall under broad categories and were initially heard at either the county boards of elections or the State Board of Elections.
● In many counties, the protests proved that Felons and Dead Voters had ballots counted in this race. The NCSBE refused to count them on the basis that it didn’t change the winner.
The statewide protests have been filed because the process has been inconsistent. That is the fault of the NCSBE in its administration of elections. These protests present a fundamental question: who decides election laws, the people and their elected representatives or unelected bureaucrats?
While Democrats engage in escalated rhetoric over these protests, the facts have not changed. As far-Left outside groups perform stunts and ignore the rule of law, they cannot argue the merits.
● These failures are the fault of the partisan N.C. State Board of Elections.
● A member of the Democrat NCSBE majority (Sibohan Millen) is married to a partner of the law firm representing Allison Riggs, a major conflict of interest. She heard these protests anyway.
FACT: The NCSBE has allowed individuals (“Never Residents”) who have never lived in the United States, much less North Carolina, to vote in our state’s elections, which violates the North Carolina Constitution.
Note: These are not UOCAVA Voters, it is Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)
FACT: State law requires a Photo ID to vote. Various county boards have not required overseas absentee voters to provide a Photo ID in order to vote in State races. This is a violation of State law due to the lack of Photo ID being presented and a failure of the NCSBE to provide uniform guidance to these counties.
FACT: Prior to December 2023, North Carolina’s Voter Registration form was in violation of federal and state law by not requiring individuals to provide their Social Security or Driver’s License number when filling out the Voter Registration form. The NC State Board of Elections admitted this pre-December 2023 form was out of compliance with the law. Nearly 225,000 individuals failed to provide this federally required information. The NCSBE acknowledged these issues but refused to address them in violation of state law.
BOTTOM LINE: Democrats want to short circuit the legal process to ensure their preferred candidate wins. Republicans want to follow the law, count Every Legal Vote and remove these ballots. When that happens, Jefferson Griffin will be vindicated and defeat Allison Riggs.
