The North Carolina Supreme Court race is intensifying as Democrat Allison Riggs appears to narrowly lead Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin, but with the margin being extremely tight, a statewide recount has been ordered. As county Boards of Elections conduct recounts, Griffin has challenged around 60,000 ballots and filed a lawsuit against the state elections board over delays in disclosing election data. Vote counting conspiracies are emerging due to the close results, and various counties are finalizing their election results while facing scrutiny. With the balance of power in the North Carolina legislature and the Supreme Court at stake, this electoral contest remains one of the most closely watched events, with implications for the GOP supermajority. As the canvassing process continues, the final outcome of this high-stakes race hangs in the balance.
