Then don't read the opinion, because there is more stooping than one might reasonably imagine.This shit makes me sick to my stomach, just incredible the lows they will stoop to.

Which is total BS. If the ballots are null and void, then they should be null and void for all races.Yes, the ballots would be DQed for this race only.
Yes - eventually this will end up back in federal courtSo now Riggs can appeal, correct? It ain't over is it?
Yes. And it’s actually the Board of Elections who is Griffin’s primary opposing party in this case.So now Riggs can appeal, correct? It ain't over is it?
The ballots Giffin challengened were not randomly selected. They were selected from counties that were heavily Democratic. Identical ballots from counties that were heavily Republican were not challenged. Griffin just assumed that throwing out ballots in heavily Democratic counties would tilt the election towards him. Griffin is undoubtedly correct. This is dispicable.Assuming Griffin ends up winning in the end, what is the actual result? That all 60k ballots are thrown out for his election only? Or that all ballots are thrown out and every federal, state, and local race has to be retabulated? Do the local Boards of Election have the ability to see who each ineligible voter voted for?
Surely he's not expecting this to turn a 734 vote deficit into a 59,266 vote win, right?
So Riggs can still challenge the identical Republican leaning ballots to be thrown out too? Correct? Surely it’s not too late to bring that up. After all Griffin didn’t follow the proper timeline to challenge. Why should Riggs be held to a different standard in that regard?The ballots Giffin challengened were not randomly selected.

If that is true, and I think it is, then it really undercuts this type of reasoning by the NC Court of Appeal:The ballots Giffin challengened were not randomly selected. They were selected from counties that were heavily Democratic. Identical ballots from counties that were heavily Republican were not challenged. Griffin just assumed that throwing out ballots in heavily Democratic counties would tilt the election towards him. Griffin is undoubtedly correct. This is dispicable.

In theory, maybe. In reality, what would they be asking for? They won't get their votes reinstated. They won't collect money damages, because they can't prove that they suffered any. We have no good metric for how much a vote is worth (and in reality, if we tried to make such a metric, the amount would almost certainly be tiny).Can the people whose votes were removed sue the state (or whoever if in charge)?
How often has justice been blind in the USA ?And yet, Republican judges will continue to speak at CLE seminars on the ethical standards that must be observed by lawyers in order to maintain the dignity of the legal profession so that the public will continue to trust the courts as an unbiased caller of balls and strikes as they see them. Horse dung. Justice in America is no longer blind. Justice in America is whatever Vlad "the Ras" Putin--and his beholden minions--decide is in Putin's best interest.
Never, you are correct. There's an old legal maxim that states, "Hard cases make bad law." It is supposd to stand for the proposition that if a judge bends the law to accomodate a particularly sympathetic party, the precedent created will have an unexpected and adverse impact for years. Complete BS. Anytime a judge starts talking about "hard cases makes bad law," that judge is getting ready to screw someone based on the wealth or political party of the person not getting screwed.How often has justice been blind in the USA ?
