💨 Abstract

Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin conceded the North Carolina Supreme Court seat to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs after a federal judge ruled that contested ballots must remain in the final tally, securing Riggs' victory by 734 votes. Griffin will not appeal the decision, allowing Riggs to begin her eight-year term. Griffin had challenged over 65,000 ballots, but this number was reduced to up to 7,000 after court rulings.
