Republican candidate requests North Carolina Supreme Court to discard 60000 ballots in close race

The Republican candidate, Jefferson Griffin, is asking the North Carolina Supreme Court to discard 60,000 ballots from last month's election. He trails Democratic Justice Allison Riggs by 734 votes. This request follows a previous rejection by the state elections board. Griffin's campaign claims these ballots were fraudulently cast by ineligible voters. The state elections board dismissed these allegations last week. Griffin's lawsuit aims to prevent the board from certifying the election results. The North Carolina Democratic Party criticized Griffin's lawsuit, calling it an attack on voters. They argue that federal law prohibits discarding ballots based on missing voter registration information. The election results have not yet been certified.
