RightCount North Carolina Responds to Federal Court Ruling Blocking Effort to Overturn North Carolina Supreme Court Election

RALEIGH, N.C. – RightCount North Carolina issued the following statement today in response to U.S. District Court Judge Richard Myers’ ruling ordering the North Carolina State Board of Elections to certify the 734-vote victory of Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs. The decision, which comes six months after Election Day and was handed down by a judge appointed by President Donald Trump, rejected all remaining election protests filed by Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin and temporarily stayed the ruling for one week to allow time for appeal.

RightCount North Carolina State Chair and former Governor Pat McCrory issued the following statement:

“President Trump’s judicial nominee got it right. He protected the right to vote of our military men and women serving overseas. It’s now time to move on and for my fellow conservatives to focus on winning the next state Supreme Court election.”

The ruling reaffirms the integrity of North Carolina’s election process and the importance of ensuring that every lawful vote, including those cast by military voters abroad, is counted.
