race in North Carolina. A quick refresh if you haven't seen our other videos about it.

Basically, the Republican candidate there has refused to concede to the Democratic incumbent,

even though there's been two recounts there, confirming both those

recounts that he lost and she won. The margin there is super tight. It's about 700 votes.

But instead of conceding and acknowledging that he lost like a normal person, he's digging his

heels in. And basically,

this race has just gotten completely caught up in the courts. It keeps tossing back between

federal and state courts. And the election there has not been certified. And it's late April.

That race was in November. So I have Anderson Clayton, who's the chair of the North Carolina Democratic

North Carolina right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But spend like that for the past few months, I assume.

Anyways, I just like big picture, Why should people care about this state Supreme Court

race? We don't usually talk about state Supreme Court races. No, and I think people tend to forget

about them, which is also how Republicans have been able to deny an election for the last six

months in North Carolina is because a lot of this has been to your point in the courts. And it's

trying to do a subversive, uh, subversive play against democracy right now without people really knowing about it. And, um, the cover of the courts is kind of how I've been framing it. Because I don't think that many like your average voter right now is paying attention as much as what's happening there. But basically what we're seeing is that after six months,

to your point, Justice Allison Riggs fairly won her seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court

by 734 votes out of 5.5 million cast, one of the smallest margins that we've seen in North Carolina

state history besides what happened in 2020 with another Supreme Court race that we had where Democrats lost that

race by 400 in one votes. And so we came back because our courts are so important to thinking
