Three months after polls closed in the November 2024 election, a North Carolina Supreme Court race has yet to be certified, despite clear, verified results. While it is an unsuccessful candidate’s right to protest their loss, their claims must be based on law and facts, proven with evidence. In this circumstance, Judge Jefferson Griffin, who, a recount confirmed, was defeated by Justice Allison Riggs, is attempting to throw out more than 60,000 lawful votes – including thousands of military votes, cast by men and women who were away from home because they are serving their country. Judge Griffin’s claims have no merit; he should concede immediately.
