Great news -- Judd Legum of popular information also did really solid work on this. One thing that is curious is what made Griffin stop and not appeal the Federal court ruling?

The arguments made by Myers are pretty damn strong. Perhaps Myers being a Trump appointee made Griffin realize he wouldn’t get a favorable ruling from SCOTUS?

There was very much of a Billy Madison "Everyone in this room is dumber" vibe coming from Myers.

Myers' ruling was BRUTAL. Had Griffin appealed to SCOTUS, they would've either denied hearing it or affirmed his ruling on a 5-4 majority. Barrett would've been the swing vote.

I suspect they would have declined to hear it, though who knows.

I'm in NC and while I am relieved at the ruling, I am appalled that it went as far as it did and that there were so many GOP judges (including 4 out of 5 GOP Supreme Court Justices) who were willing to play along and let Griffin try and invalidate people's votes after the fact!

Please support the next Democratic justice up for reelection, Justice Anita Earls. It is already shaping up to be a fight.
