Griffin (R) offers NC Appeals Court final written arguments in election dispute
Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin argued in his latest court filing Monday that counting 65,000 “illegal” ballots would disenfranchise the millions of North Carolina voters who cast legal ballots in the Nov. 5 election.
Griffin, a state Appeals Court judge, is suing the State Board of Elections for counting challenged ballots in his recent Supreme Court race against Justice Allison Riggs, an appointed incumbent Democrat. Riggs leads Griffin by 734 votes out of 5.5 million ballots cast statewide. Two recounts have confirmed Riggs’ lead.
A Jan. 7 stay from the state Supreme Court has blocked the state elections board from certifying Riggs as the winner.
A Wake County Superior Court judge rejected Griffin’s ballot challenges on Feb. 7. Now Griffin is asking the Appeals Court to overturn that decision.
