Federal judge tells state board to certify Riggs' victory in disputed NC Supreme Court race​

A federal judge ordered North Carolina elections officials to certify Democrat Allison Riggs' narrow victory in the November election for a seat on the state Supreme Court. GOP challenger Jefferson Griffin has seven days to appeal.

North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs would retain her seat on the state’s highest court under a new federal court order that said efforts to invalidate thousands of overseas voters' ballots are unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Richard Myers II on Monday ordered the North Carolina State Board of Elections to certify the Democrat’s narrow victory in the November election. But he paused the ruling for seven days to give Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin time to appeal.

Myers agreed with Riggs and others who have long argued it would be a violation of the U.S. Constitution to carry out recent decisions by state appeals courts that directed the removal of potentially thousands of voter ballots deemed ineligible. He wrote that ballots couldn't be thrown out six months after Election Day without damaging due process and equal protection rights of the affected voters.
“This case concerns whether the federal Constitution permits a state to alter the rules of an election after the fact and apply those changes retroactively only to a select group of voters, and in so doing treat those voters differently than other similarly situated individuals,” Myers wrote. “This case is also about whether a state may redefine its class of eligible voters but offer no process to those who may have been misclassified as ineligible." He concluded: “To this court, the answer to each of those questions is ‘no.’”

More judicially enforced election fraud.

The judicial branch is the heart of the deepstate and must be purged.

Explain. Be specific.

"They aren't letting Trump have his way" won't work. Talk about the law, or you're just an idiot with Tourette's Syndrome.

They are doing the same thing where they won't allow an investigation in spite of there already being copious evidence of fraud.

Then why does Griffin have a week to appeal?

Then why does Griffin have a week to appeal?

Because appeals have nothing to do with the ruling.
He can't be denied the ability to appeal, if they tried he could appeal that.

Don't change the subject. They do have something to do with the investigation.

No, they do not, the judge ruled against allowing an investigation and ordered that the D thief be installed.

A higher court may overrule him if an appeal is filed, but that doesn't change his ruling.

You'll need to post proof that an injunction has been issued against investigators, because everyone can see you're tripping brains this morning.

That's what ordering certification does.
They wanted to not install the thief until they looked into the theft and this judge is ordering them not to do that.

The more you grasp at straws the dumber you look.

That doesn't shut down the investigation.

You do love talking to yourself.
