#NorthCarolina's #Republican majority Court of Appeals sided w/the GOP candidate in a suit contesting last year's State #SupremeCourt #election.

The decision could result in ~64k ballots being thrown out, handing the election to the Republican instead of the Democratic Justice who won.

The case will likely be appealed.

In the Biltmore Estate Gardens, the hibiscus stands out as a breathtaking focal point among the estate’s meticulously curated floral displays. Nestled among lush greenery and historic landscapes, these large, velvety blooms add a bold splash of color to the Walled Garden, Italian Garden, and Conservatory.
