For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

NBA hot take:
Any player who guarded SGA the exact same way Caruso guarded Jokic would be assessed 6 personal foul calls within the first 5 minutes of a game, and probably be given a double technical.
Jokic deserves the MVP, SGA deserves an Academy Award for dramatic flopping.

BREAKING: Judge Richard Myers rules that the N.C. Supreme Court's handling of the state supreme court election violated the U.S. Constitution.
The win for Justice Riggs, a Democrat, is to be certified.
Today's ruling stayed for 7 days for Judge Griffin, a Republican, to appeal "if he so chooses."

Today's ruling stayed for 7 days for Judge Griffin, a Republican, to appeal "if he so chooses."
![This consolidated action concerns an attempt to change the rules of the game after it had
been played. The court cannot countenance that strategy, see Hendon, 710 F.2d at 182; Toney,
476 F.2d at 209, which implicates the very integrity of the election and offends "the law's basic interest in finality." United States v. Fugit, 703 F.3d 248, 253 (4th Cir. 2012). Permitting parties to "upend the set rules" of an election after the election has taken place can only produce
"confusion and turmoil [which] threatens to undermine public confidence in the federal courts,
state agencies, and the elections themselves." Wise, 978 F.3d at 105 (Wilkinson, J., dissenting).
Accordingly, the court FINDS as follows:
1. Retroactive invalidation of absentee ballots cast by overseas military and civilian voters violates those voters' substantive due process rights;
2. The cure process violates the equal protection rights of overseas military and civilian voters; and
3. The lack of any notice or opportunity for eligible voters to contest their mistaken designation as Never Residents violates procedural due process and represents an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote.
Therefore, the court ORDERS that:
A. The State Board SHALL NOT take any action in furtherance of the North Carolina Court of Appeals and Supreme Court's orders in Griffin v. N. Carolina State Bd. of Elections,
No. COA25-181, 2025 WL 1021724 (N.C. Ct. App. Apr. 4, 2025) and Griffin v. N.
Carolina State Bd. of Elections, No. 320P24-3, 2025 WL 1090903 (N.C. Apr. 11, 2025);
B. The State Board SHALL certify the results of the election for Seat 6 based on the tally at
the completion of the canvassing period on December 10, 2024;
C. Judge Griffin's petitions for judicial review [DE 1-4; DE 1-12] are DENIED;](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreifsbfhb4jjoeo6pl52os7iw4e7tzdkb7mp53lf77a3rs7djmoe44u@jpeg)
![D. Judge Griffin's motions for injunctive relief [DE 1-5; DE 1-13] are DENIED;
E. Justice Riggs' motion for injunctive relief [DE 37] is GRANTED;
F. The VoteVets Action Fund Parties' motion for summary judgment [DE 86] is
GRANTED 6,
G. The NCDP's request for injunctive relief [DE 78] is GRANTED;
H. The Conley Plaintiffs' request for a permanent injunction [DE 82] is GRANTED;
I. Final judgment is ENTERED:
In Griffin Il, judgment is ENTERED in favor of the State Board, Justice Riggs, and the VoteVets Action Fund Parties as to the issues identified in Findings 1, 2, and 3;
ii. In NCDP, judgment is ENTERED in favor of the NCDP as to the issues
identified in Findings 1, 2, and 3; and
iii. In Conley, judgment is ENTERED in favor of the Conley Plaintiffs as to the
issues identified in Findings 1 and 2.28
The court's order is STAYED for 7 days, so that Judge Griffin may pursue an appeal if he
so chooses.
