Episode 172: A 'Bloodless Coup' Underway in North Carolina
Over five months after voters cast their ballots to elect a North Carolina Supreme Court Justice, the election remains uncertified. The losing candidate has taken to the courts in an attempt to change the rules of the contest long after Election Day and, so far, two state courts have been willing to do so. Lindsay Langholz joins Christopher Wright Durocher to discuss the legal case at the heart of this election contest, the courts who have and will be hearing the case, and what it could mean for the rest of the country.
