Episode notes
There is a new chapter in the still-undecided race for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court. A federal judge has blocked the start of a massive ballot review period. The federal appeals court stopped the state elections board from contacting thousands of military and overseas voters who ballots were called in to question. Democrat Allison Riggs leads the race by 734 votes, but Republican Jefferson Griffin challenged 65,000 ballots. Earlier this month, the state supreme court ruled that most of the challenged ballots must remain in the election count. Anderson Clayton, the Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party and Cat Lawson, the North Carolina Democratic Voter Protection Director, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the latest developments.
