The margin between Riggs and Griffin is .02 percentage points, well below the threshold for being able to seek a recount.

As part of North Carolina's thorough election canvassing process, county boards of elections are still researching provisional ballots to see whether they should be counted, a process that could still affect close contests like the state Supreme Court race between Justice Allison Riggs and Jefferson Griffin, who are separated by fewer than 8,000 votes.
