Voting is Your POWER<p>Josiah Young was born and raised in North Carolina. The 20-year-old attended college in North Carolina and runs a drone photography business in the state. So Young was surprised to learn that the North Carolina Supreme Court recently ordered his 2024 general election ballot to be discarded based on the false allegation that he was "never" a resident of the state.</p><p>Young's ballot is one of about 260 that the North Carolina Supreme Court ordered to be invalidated after they were challenged by Jefferson Griffin, a candidate for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court. Griffin, a Republican, lost by 734 votes to Democrat Allison Riggs. Two recounts have confirmed Riggs' victory. But Griffin has continued to challenge the result, claiming that tens of thousands of ballots, including Young's, should be tossed. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/northcarolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>northcarolina</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ncpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ncpol</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NCPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NCPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspolitics</span></a></p>
