URGENT: MAGA Trying to Steal Supreme Court Seat in NCThe MAGA attack on 65,000 votes — and the judge fighting back.
I just interviewed North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, and I need everyone to understand: what’s happening in her state could happen anywhere — and it’s a direct threat to our democracy. Justice Riggs won her election. Not once, but three times — the original count, a recount, and then another recount. The votes were in. Voter ID laws were followed. Absentee ballots, including from members of the military and voters overseas, were properly cast and counted. And yet, her MAGA opponent, a sitting Republican judge named Jefferson Griffin, is using lawsuits and backroom power plays to try and overturn the results. Let me be clear: this isn’t just about one race. This is the Trump strategy — deny the results, attack the legitimacy of votes you don’t like, and abuse the court system until you get the outcome you want. We’ve seen this movie before. It ends with chaos, disenfranchisement, and an authoritarian trying to cling to power. But Justice Riggs is fighting back, not just for her seat, but for the 65,000+ North Carolinians whose votes are under attack. People like her own parents, who’ve voted for decades without issue, only to now be told their votes might not count. Why? Because they dared to vote for the “wrong” candidate in a race the GOP wants to steal. Even worse, this MAGA challenge targets ballots only in the most Democratic counties. Same ballots, same process. But only the ones they don’t like are being contested. It’s election subversion, plain and simple. And it’s a test run. If they get away with it in North Carolina, they’ll try it in your state next. That’s why I’m urging you: don’t look away. Follow Justice Riggs. Support her fight. Visit RiggsForOurCourts.com. Spread the word. This legal battle is going to be long — she’s already spent over $1.2 million fighting just to have her victory upheld. But she’s not backing down. There are thousands of voters who now must “cure” their ballots in 15 days or they will be disenfranchised. If they don’t, an unelected MAGA judge will come into power. So if you know anyone in North Carolina, please make sure they are paying attention, and make sure they check to make sure their vote was counted. This race isn’t about partisanship. It’s about power. It’s about whether voters still get to choose their leaders, or whether politicians get to erase results they don’t like. Stories like this are of the utmost importance to us here at the MeidasTouch Network. This strikes at the very heart of our democracy. We will not remain silent.
