The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Judge Jefferson Griffin’s effort to toss out over 60,000 ballots in the race for the North Carolina Supreme Court.
The North Carolina Court of Appeals will hold oral arguments on Friday in Jefferson Griffin's attempt to throw out more than 65,000 votes so that he can win state supreme court election he lost to Allison Riggs.

Most of those challenges are of voters who are missing some registration information, but there are many valid reasons those details could be missing, and the vast majority of voters disenfranchised by such a culling would be lawfully registered voters.
A recount has confirmed Democratic Justice Allison Riggs’ victory over Republican Jefferson Griffin, but Griffin has filed official challenges against 60,000 ballots, including those of Riggs’ parents and a prominent doctor. UPDATE: This post has been changed to...
