Three Republican justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court made it very clear tonight that they intend to steal a seat on their court for a Republican candidate who lost by 734 votes. Their opinions are pure Stop the Steal insanity.

The 4th Circuit needs to intervene immediately. rb.gy/nqceab
Chief Justice NEWBY concurring. I concur in the decision to dismiss petitioner's petition for writ of prohibition. Our General Statutes clearly provide that petitioner's right of appeal from the decision of the State Board of Elections lies with the Superior Court of Wake County. N.C.G.S. § 163-182.14(b) (2023). Petitioner needs to follow this procedure. I write separately to emphasize that this case is not about deciding the outcome of an election. It is about preserving the public's trust and confidence in our elections through the rule of law. On the night of the election, petitioner led his opponent by almost 10,000 votes. Over the course of the next several days, his lead slowly dwindled, and he now trails his opponent by 734 votes out of the 5,540,090 total votes cast. That is a highly unusual course of events. It is understandable that petitioner and many North Carolina voters are questioning how this could happen. Petitioner has a legal right to inquire into this outcome through the statutorily enacted procedures available to him. See generally id. §$ 163-182.9 to - 182.15; N.C. Const. art. I, § 18.
