'Near misses' on constitutional crises invite 'incredible mischief': NC Justice Riggs - Velshi - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

The last race of the 2024 election has finally been settled, with a Republican judge conceding to incumbent North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs – ending a months-long attempt to retroactively invalidate thousands of ballots.

While this attempt to overturn the election ultimately failed, the saga serves as a warning for the weak points in our electoral system. “We keep having these near misses on constitutional crises where people in power actually try and come so close to overturning the will of the voters,” said Justice Riggs. “We have to be vigilant going forward…We have to demand accountability.” - Aired on 05/10/2025.
