4. It's not an open seat, really

Allison Riggs, the Democrat, is already on the NC Supreme Court. She was appointed by Cooper to finish a term in 2023.

This whole thing is ridiculous. As far as I know, this has never been done before - changing the rules for an election AFTER the election has taken place. The 65,000 voters whose ballots were questioned risk not having their votes counted in this ONE race, while their votes in other races that have been certified WILL be counted. Makes no sense.

If Griffin wins this seat, the NC Supreme Court will be 6 - 1 conservative, and we will continue to be fucked here in NC.
