The North Carolina Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court’s ruling requiring approximately 65,000 voters to verify their identity in a disputed state Supreme Court election.

In a 2-1 decision, the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled the disputed votes must be recounted and verified.
The disputed votes are believed to favor Democrat Allison Riggs, who held a 734-vote lead on Republican Jefferson Griffin after recounts.

NBC News reports:
The state Supreme Court’s two-sentence order prevents a ruling issued Friday from going into effect so it can review an appeal from the Democratic candidate in the contest.
The ruling Monday is the latest development in a long and winding saga following a close finish in November.
Democratic state Supreme Court judge Allison Riggs, who was appointed to the bench in 2023, emerged after Election Day narrowly ahead of Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, a state appeals court judge, triggering a series of recounts.
A full machine recount as well as a partial hand recount of the race both showed Riggs leading Griffin by 734 votes. More than 5.5 million ballots were cast in the race. NBC News’ Decision Desk has not yet called the race.
After the recounts, Griffin’s team filed legal challenges across the state, alleging that more than 65,000 people had voted illegally. Many of the allegations focused on voters who Griffin’s lawyers claimed didn’t have driver’s licenses or Social Security numbers on file in their voter registration records. Their claims were also related to overseas voters who haven’t lived in North Carolina and overseas voters who failed to provide photo identification with their ballots.

Per NC Newsline:
The Appeals Court said the elections board should be required to notify voters Griffin is targeting that their ballots need to be corrected if they want them to count. Voters would have had 15 business days from the time notices were sent to either complete their registration with a partial Social Security number or a driver’s license number, or, if they were military or civilian overseas absentee voters, to supply a copy of a photo ID.
After Griffin filed his challenges, many voters came forward to say the identification numbers they provided on their registration forms did not show up in the database due to mismatches or typos.
The electronic portal most overseas voters use provides no means of submitting ID with their ballots.
Riggs and the Board of Elections asked for a temporary stay of the Appeals Court order.
In his motion, Riggs’ lawyer emphasized the confusion the 15-day deadline would cause.
“It is impossible to predict the full scope of confusion that could result from this 15-day cure process if implemented before this Court’s review,” the petition says.
“Further, the Court of Appeals’ “cure” remedy will be inadequate to prevent the disenfranchisement of thousands of North Carolina voters. There can be no doubt that tens of thousands of voters—through no fault of their own—will be unable to cure their registrations or ballots in time.”
