Superior Court judge sides with Riggs against Griffin | North Carolina
SUMMARY: In the ongoing legal battle over the state Supreme Court Seat 6, Wake County Superior Court ruled against Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin, who trails incumbent Democrat Allison Riggs by 734 votes from 5.5 million cast. Griffin has not conceded, suggesting an appeal is likely. The court denied his request to discard 65,000 ballots, with previous protests rejected at both county and state levels. The litigation has progressed through various courts. Riggs, appointed to the Supreme Court in September 2023 after previously serving on the Court of Appeals, is set to begin her term unless Griffin’s appeal succeeds.
