Supreme Court race still too close to call | North Carolina
SUMMARY: The North Carolina Supreme Court race remains too close to call, with Republican Jefferson Griffin leading Democrat incumbent Allison Riggs by just 7,641 votes, or 0.14%. The counting of absentee and provisional ballots continues, and while Griffin hasn’t commented, Riggs acknowledged the narrow path to victory and the ongoing canvassing efforts. A recount is likely, as the margin falls within North Carolina’s recount rules. Concerns about reported vote glitches have arisen, though election officials believe these issues will resolve during the canvassing period. If Griffin wins, it would further solidify Republican control in the state’s judiciary.
