The judge who contributed to Judge Griffin's (R) legal fund won't hear his election case

[RandySF]

The state Court of Appeals will hear arguments in Judge Jefferson Griffin’s lawsuit against the state Board of Elections on March 21.

Griffin, a Republican Appeals Court judge, is trying to unseat Democratic incumbent Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs. She leads by 734 votes, an advantage that has been affirmed by two recounts. Griffin is suing to throw out more than 60,000 ballots in an attempt to win the seat.

Panels of three Appeals Court judges are usually assigned to hear cases.

Republicans dominate the court 12-3.
