North Carolina's still-unresolved state Supreme Court race took a new turn on April 11, 2025, when judges ordered additional review of disputed ballots. AP, Fox News, and Reuters all reported the ruling and the unusually long fight over the seat.
Coverage across the spectrum agreed that the case involved absentee and overseas ballots and that the margin was narrow enough for litigation to matter. The dispute became one of the highest-profile post-election ballot fights in the country.
Fox News emphasized rule enforcement and ballot curing, while AP and Reuters gave more weight to concerns about changing standards after the election.
