The North Carolina Supreme Court on Friday ruled that most of the 65,000 questionable ballots must count in the hotly contested judicial race. Earlier this week the North Carolina Supreme Court halted a previous order from the state appeals court requiring the verification of 65,000 questionable ballots. This case has been bouncing around between state and federal courts. The North Carolina Supreme Court race headed for a recount due to a close final tally as the Democrat pulled ahead two weeks after Election Day.
