From what I understand according to Red State and not reported in this article is the court also ruled the 5000 military votes must be counted, which would likely give victory to the Republican.

What I got out of the Red State article was that some 5000 “overseas” votes would be counted IF the voters provided copies of valid id, or some sort of exemption paperwork, within 30 days. RS further wrote that analysis of the 5000 shows a majority of the voters to be registered as Democrats (”D+53”, whatever that means).

Yet, somehow, they conclude the whole process will likely put the Republican back in the lead. Confusing. Perhaps it is assumed that the Dem-registered votes are less likely to be legit or willing/able to provide convincing id.

I guess the scramble will be on for each party to chase down its voters and get them to cure.

273 ballots were permanently ruled ineligible because they were cast by overseas voters who have never lived in North Carolina and do not meet the requirements for residency. That is expected to narrow the gap for Republican Jefferson Griffin, who now has the chance to overtake Riggs.

With that said, a normal batch of votes requiring curing, such as the 5,000+ in question, wouldn't typically overturn an election decided by over 700 votes. This isn't a normal batch of votes, though. Instead, analysis shows it's made up of mostly Democrat voters, with registration comparisons showing D+53.
