The 2024 election is over. In May 2025.
Jefferson Griffin told the Associated Press Wednesday that he will concede the 2024 race for NC Supreme Court to Allison Riggs.
It comes two days after a federal judge wrote a scathing rebuke of Griffin and North Carolina Republicans’ legal challenge, which sought to toss more than 60,000 votes by changing the rules of whose votes are counted after the election has happened.
That federal judge, US District Judge Richard Myers, is a conservative appointee of President Trump’s first term. Myers did not mince words though.
“This case concerns whether the federal Constitution permits a state to alter the rules of an election after the fact and apply those changes retroactively to only a select group of voters, and in so doing treat those voters differently than other similarly situated individuals,” Myers wrote.
“This case is also about whether a state may redefine its class of eligible voters but offer no process to those who may have been misclassified as ineligible.”
He continued: “The answer to each of those questions is ‘no.’”
