“Members of the armed forces have been pummeled with disrespect over the past several months. Veterans nationwide have had their health care snatched away, their jobs abolished, and their careers sideswiped. The latest indignity comes courtesy of North Carolina, where active-duty members who are state residents now find themselves facing an incomprehensible threat: disenfranchisement. ‘They are furious about this,’ says Jason Cain, a ten-year Army veteran and member of Common Defense, a veterans advocacy group. … All told, more than 65,000 North Carolina voters’ ballots from last November’s election are being contested because the Republican candidate for a state supreme court seat, Jefferson Griffin, an appeals court judge, found himself on the wrong side of a 734-vote margin that favored Allison Riggs, the Democratic state supreme court justice seeking re-election.” (04/10/25)
