0:00.0	We've got major news out of North Carolina, folks, where the Supreme Court race back from November was thrown into turmoil where the MAGA Republican candidate for the Supreme Court seat, Jefferson Griffin, refused to concede after losing in multiple recounts to Justice Allison Riggs, who was on the Supreme Court, the Democratic
0:23.6	back candidate, Justice Allison Riggs. At every step, the MAGA Republican candidate Jefferson
0:29.5	Griffin tried to challenge existing votes that were already counted. He tried to disenfranchise people.
0:38.3	He tried to literally steal votes from people.
0:41.3	This had been a six-month ordeal where the votes of the people were just not being counted.
0:48.3	It went through the state court system, from the lower-level court to their court of appeals to the Supreme Court,
0:56.1	where ultimately a subset of votes was ordered by the United, by the North Carolina Supreme

1:12.6	Supreme Court in North Carolina made that ruling separately, Justice Allison Riggs was bringing

1:46.0	to certify a 734 vote win for the Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs and rejected
1:54.4	all of the MAGA candidate Jefferson Griffin's election protest. The judge did stay the order
2:00.2	for one week so that Jefferson Griffin
2:02.3	may appeal. And knowing Jefferson Griffin, I'm sure he's going to do what Jefferson Griffin does.
2:07.5	But when you take a look at this order by the district court judge, again, a Trump appointed judge.
2:12.2	I don't even like saying Trump appointed judge, Obama appointed judge, but I think I think it is still a
2:17.3	notable factor here.
2:19.3	Here's what the judge wrote.
