US EditionRepublican Jefferson Griffin concedes N.C. Supreme Court race after months of legal battles
- Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin conceded the November 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court election to Democrat Allison Riggs after a federal judge ordered final certification in Raleigh.
- Griffin's concession followed a legal battle where he contested thousands of ballots based on ID requirements and voter eligibility, but state appeals courts found many ballots ineligible under North Carolina law.
- U.S. District Judge Richard Myers, appointed by President Trump, ruled that removing ballots months after the election would violate voters' due process rights and agreed with Riggs that the ballots cast under 2024 rules must count.
- The certified results confirmed that Riggs won by a margin of 734 votes out of more than 5.5 million cast. Griffin acknowledged the court's decision, stating that although he does not completely concur with the District Court’s reasoning, he honors the court's final ruling.
- Griffin's decision concludes the nation's last undecided 2024 race and enables Riggs to serve an eight-year term, supporting Democratic efforts to maintain a court majority in North Carolina.
