#jeffersongriffin — Public Fediverse posts

On May 7, 2025, Tatyana Tandanpolie reported that North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs won the 2024 election by just 734 votes against Jefferson Griffin, who attempted to deny the election's legitimacy. Riggs framed her victory as a pivotal moment for democracy. The court's ruling against Griffin's tactics was lauded by experts as a crucial protection against retroactive changes. For full details, check out Tandanpolie’s article. https://www.alternet.org/griffin-riggs-north-carolina-salon/ #NorthCarolina #AllisonRiggs #JeffersonGriffin #ElectionIntegrity #Democracy #VoterMobilization #TatyanaTandanpolie #Salon

“This is a victory for North Carolina voters and the rule of law,” Riggs wrote on social media last week after a federal judge ordered her 2024 victory to be made official. “But we must keep fighting to elect judges who will put the Constitution over party and personal ambition.”

North Carolina Supreme Court Partially Upholds GOP “Bloodless Coup” Ballot Purge

Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin is challenging some 65,000 votes in his bid to overturn his opponent’s narrow win.

North Carolina, keep your eyes open. Votes are being thrown out:

NC Supreme Court votes to throw out some, but not all, ballots contested in 2024 race for seat on court

Looks like NCDems is organizing a virtual phone bank to help reach voters on the Griffin List... https://www.mobilize.us/ncdems/event/750743/

UPDATE: I signed up for that Zoom and got this message:
"We are actively planning how to defend every vote given this changed landscape – and we need to make sure that our process is watertight. Litigation is ongoing, and the 15-day countdown won’t start until all the appeals are finished.

So, in lieu of tomorrow's phone bank, the North Carolina Democratic Party will hold an emergency virtual briefing to walk through what the ruling means and what happens next. Defending this victory will be a massive operation that requires every one of you."

NC voters! Make sure you're not on the Griffin List:
https://thegriffinlist.com/
and share with your friends and family so they can, too.

If you are - due to a partisan and groundless appellate court decision, you have 15 days to cure your ballot. Find your county's Board of Elections here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/BOEInfo/

You'll need to show them a photo ID or other approved form of documentation:

This is a naked attempt by Repugnicans** to steal a state Supreme Court seat. Don't let this asshole win.

@Nonilex

Are you paying attention, #JeffersonGriffin?

A Republican judicial candidate in North Carolina has been trying for months to disenfranchise regular persons trying to pay their rent in the state and steal an election: https://www.npr.org/2025/01/27/nx-s1-5269775/north-carolina-supreme-court-challenged-ballots

#npr #northcarolina #electionintegrity #electioninterference #authoritarianism #law #republican #republicans #steveharrison #morningedition #jeffersongriffin #allisonriggs #votingrights

Why isn't there more uproar about efforts to disenfranchise #American Service Members in #NorthCarolina? Those who wear the uniform and risk their lives must ALWAYS have confidence that their ballots will be counted.

#Republican #JeffersonGriffin is trying to overturn his election loss by asking the NC Supreme Court to toss 5,500 #military and overseas absentee ballots. #uspol #election
