As previously reported, North Carolina’s Supreme Court race headed for a recount due to a close final tally as the Democrat pulled ahead two weeks after Election Day.
Democrat incumbent Sarah Riggs closed the race with 2,770,818 votes to GOP challenger Jefferson Griffin’s 2,770,193 votes.
The race went to a recount since the vote difference is fewer than 10,000 votes.
Republican Griffin was leading the race until all of a sudden Democrat Riggs overcame her opponent weeks after the election.
President Trump won North Carolina by more than 3 percent over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election but somehow the Democrats took many down ballot races.
The Democrat incumbent is now ahead by 600 votes after late votes came in for the North Carolina Supreme Court seat.
Jefferson Griffin is challenging 60,000 ballots that should not have been counted, The Carolina Journal reported.
“As North Carolinians, we cherish our democratic process. Protecting election integrity is not just an option — it’s our duty,” Griffin said in a North Carolina GOP news release. “These protests are about one fundamental principle: ensuring every legal vote is counted.”
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley joined Jefferson Griffin in filing hundreds of protests over the 60,000 ballots.
“The RNC and NCGOP have joined Jefferson Griffin in filing hundreds of protests over 60,000 ballots that should not have been counted in the NC Supreme Court race. Our attorneys are on the ground in-state,” Michael Whatley said.
“The NC State Board of Elections failed to administer this election fairly. They have been inconsistent, uncooperative, and non-transparent throughout this process — but we will fight them every step of the way,” Whatley said.
“We will share more updates as they become available,” he said.
