The North Carolina Supreme Court temporarily blocks a lower court's ruling that would have required that more than 65,000 votes cast in the disputed 2024 state Supreme Court race be recounted and verified.

The ruling prevents a ruling from Friday from going into effect so it can review an appeal in the case from the Democratic candidate in the contest.

The litigation over whether those votes should be counted has been stuck in both federal and state courts for months .

A full machine recount as well as a partial hand recount showed Democrat Allison Riggs leading Republican Jefferson Griffin by 734 votes.
