The ongoing race for the North Carolina Supreme Court remains under scrutiny as allegations of voting irregularities persist. Jefferson Griffin has filed protests regarding over 60,000 votes cast during the 2024 General Election, citing issues in ballot handling and counting procedures.

Before December 2023, the state's voter registration form was not compliant with federal and state laws because it did not require a Social Security or Driver’s License number. The North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) admitted this oversight but reportedly did not rectify it, leaving nearly 225,000 registrations incomplete.

Further accusations include allowing individuals who have never resided in North Carolina to vote in state elections and failing to enforce the requirement for photo identification from overseas absentee voters. These alleged discrepancies highlight a lack of uniform guidance from the NCSBE to county boards.

Despite procedural challenges posed by what Griffin describes as a Democrat-majority NCSBE, he continues to seek resolution through the NC Supreme Court. He asserts that these violations must be addressed at the highest level.

NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons stated, "The people of North Carolina are ready to finally see this process brought to a conclusion and the laws our state faithfully followed. Judge Griffin is fighting to ensure election integrity and resolution of these issues in a fair manner."

With these matters now before the NC Supreme Court, there is anticipation that clear resolutions will soon be provided.
