Federal judges have intervened in the contentious North Carolina Supreme Court election by halting the ballot curing process, significantly impacting military and overseas voters. The dispute centers around Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, who has faced criticism for seeking to disenfranchise military votes and challenging regulations regarding photo ID requirements for overseas voters from Guilford County. As the election approaches, the legality of thousands of ballots hangs in the balance, with accusations from various sides regarding election integrity and the potential for a prolonged resolution. In light of these developments, former NC Governor McCrory has called for Griffin to concede, emphasizing that the future of democracy in the state is at stake.
