North Carolina Supreme Court Race

Justice Allison Riggs won the race for N.C Supreme Court by 734 votes after two recounts. However, her GOP opponent Jefferson Griffin has refused to concede and is trying to throw out more than 65,000 ballots cast in November’s Supreme Court election.

On February 7, the Wake County Superior Court upheld the N.C. Board of Elections’ rejection of Griffin’s protest. However, Griffin appealed the decision to the N.C. Court of Appeals. Due to a recent N.C. Supreme Court ruling, neither candidate may be declared the winner until all legal appeals are finished.

As Griffin’s challenges continue to be fought in the courts three months after the election, Justice Riggs has stated: “Voters decide elections, and I remain committed to seeing this fight through and upholding North Carolinians’ constitutional freedoms.”

Please support Justice Rigg’s and donate to the legal fight.
