### Education


### Additional information

- Initial dismissal: Pulaski County Circuit Judge Tim Fox dismissed the case without prejudice in April 2026 because it was filed in the wrong county and lacked required affidavit verification
- Final ruling: In June 2026, Judge Fox dismissed the case with prejudice — meaning it could not be refiled — calling Norris’s claims “specious, ill-founded, and wholly without merit” and praising the Saline County election officials for performing their duties “in an exemplary fashion”
- Democrat from Burlington, NC, and the second-generation attorney in his family.
- The recount in Saline County confirmed the original results, and Norris’s team alleged procedural issues, including restrictions on attorney access to the recount
- He filled a vacancy created when former judge Brad Allen retired after more than two decades on the bench
