Summary

The North Carolina Supreme Court, in a 5-1 Republican-led decision, blocked certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs as the winner of a state Supreme Court race.

Riggs leads Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes after recounts, but Griffin claims 60,000 ballots were illegally cast and seeks to have them invalidated.

The court will now hear Griffin’s challenge, with briefs due by January 24.

Democrats criticized the move as partisan, while the lone Democratic justice dissented, arguing there is no basis to delay certification or disrupt the election process.

      Did you know that in France they call a Supreme Supreme Court “le guillotine?”

            Yeeting the rich sounds fun. Just have to be careful where you do it, like the punkin chukin competitions. You know, to prevent any damage to anything important.

            Make it a sport, whomever (or maybe top 5) yeets their rich person the furthest wins 10% of their net worth, the rest is used for social programs.

              What and then we load that guy straight into the trebuchet because he would then probably be a billionaire?

                Nah, they could be exempt the same way lottery winners could be, since they didn’t do anything shady or anti-social to get it. It’s also unlikely they would have the money long (similarly to lottery winners).

                Unless they turned into assholes and got put on the list. Then yeet the new rich! :)

          An avocado would kill you? Maybe some cheeze?

            An avocado and some cheese wouldn’t kill me but it would give me diarrhea so bad that I might pray for death.
