North Carolina Election Tensions Rise Amid GOP Challenges and Recounts

The North Carolina State Board of Elections confirmed incumbent Justice Allison Riggs's victory over GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin in the state Supreme Court race after a partial hand recount. Riggs's lead increased to 734 votes, negating the need for a full hand recount. Griffin had challenged over 60,000 ballots, questioning their validity, but the board plans to address these challenges in a public hearing. Riggs's campaign urged the board to dismiss Griffin's protests, while the North Carolina Democratic Party filed a lawsuit to protect voters' rights.

"Republican Officials Push for Trump's Inclusion on 2024 Ballots Amid 14th Amendment Controversy"

Advocacy groups and critics are using the 14th Amendment to try to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, with Colorado and Maine determining the ban applies to him due to his actions related to the 2020 election and January 6 insurrection. While some states have paused decisions on this, lawsuits in other key states have been dismissed on procedural grounds. The US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the Colorado case in early February, and CNN is tracking the major decisions on Trump’s eligibility.

Donald Trump is facing challenges to his candidacy in several states, with the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that he is ineligible to appear on the state's primary ballot due to his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump's campaign plans to appeal the decision, and similar challenges have been filed in Arizona, California, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and several other states.

"Colorado Court Ruling Puts Trump's 2024 Ballot Eligibility in Jeopardy"

Campaigners in multiple states have filed challenges to have Donald Trump removed from the 2024 presidential ballot, arguing that his actions on the day of the Capitol attack violated the 14th Amendment. A Colorado district judge ruled that Trump engaged in insurrection but allowed him to remain on the primary ballot due to uncertainty about whether the constitutional amendment applies to the presidency. Similar challenges have been made in Minnesota and Michigan, with mixed outcomes. Experts believe that the case may eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, and the ruling in Colorado has already had an impact on ongoing appeals. Colorado could be a crucial state for Trump in the 2024 race, as it has matched the eventual election winner in all but one election since 2000.
