I know we've discussed elsewhere, but I think this deserves its own thread to discuss over the coming weeks.
The NC Supreme Court race between Allison Riggs (D) and Jefferson Griffin (R) is currently separated by 24 votes out of over 5.5 million cast. The official winner will likely be preliminarily determined this week after the last few counties finish their county canvasses (which, per state law, occurred this past Friday - ignore the usual idiots wildly claiming that NC still counting votes is new evidence of voter fraud). But whoever is called the winner after the count is done, there will absolutely be a recount. There may also be litigation over disputed votes. So I think it will likely be a while before we know the outcome.
The NC Supreme Court will still have a clear Republican majority either way, and Dems cannot flip the court back until 2028 at the earliest either way. But to have a realistic chance of doing so, Dems need to hold on to the two seats they have (the other Dem seat will be up for election in 2026).
