Key arguments denied in ballots challenge for NC Supreme Court election: Griffin vs Riggs

WAKE COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- The race for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court continues to play out in court. It's been three months and the race hasn't been certified yet.
A ruling in the latest battle in court appears to tilt in favor of the candidate that holds a narrow lead--Democratic Associate Justice Allison Riggs.
A judge on Friday upheld decisions by election officials to reject protests by the trailing candidate in a very close state Supreme Court election who wants tens of thousands of contested ballots removed from the race tallies.
In three one-page orders, Superior Court Judge William Pittman affirmed the December rulings of the State Board of Elections. Democratic Associate Justice Allison Riggs maintains a 734-vote lead over Republican rival Jefferson Griffin after more than 5.5 million ballots were cast and two recounts.
