US EditionJudges temporarily prevent NC officials from contacting voters in close election
- A federal judge from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will review a decision regarding North Carolina's Supreme Court election for Seat 6, currently contested by Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs and Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin.

- The North Carolina Court of Appeals had previously ruled that over 65,000 votes could be discarded due to incomplete information, but the Supreme Court allowed many of these votes to remain in the count.
