1 week ago | nytimes.com | Eduardo Medina |Nick Corasaniti

The number of ballots in question exceeds the slim margin by which the Democrat incumbent, Justice Allison Riggs, won. North Carolina's highest court ruled on Friday that thousands of overseas and military voters must fix issues with their ballots within 30 days or risk having them tossed out.
