NC Supreme Court Race: Riggs Leads as Recount Looms

Democratic incumbent Justice Allison Riggs appears to have narrowly defeated Republican Jefferson Griffin in the North Carolina Supreme Court race, prompting Griffin to request a recount. The State Board of Elections has granted the recount, which is expected to be completed by November 27. Griffin has also filed protests alleging that over 60,000 votes should not have been counted. The Democratic Party remains confident in Riggs' victory, emphasizing the importance of every vote. The recount process is part of ensuring election integrity, with results potentially impacting the Republican majority in the General Assembly.
