Griffin is a North Carolina appeals court judge and candidate for seat 6 on the N.C. Supreme Court. He trails the Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs by 734 votes even after two statewide recounts. He challenged more than 60,000 votes, saying most of the votes should not count due to incomplete voter registration.

Two recounts show Griffin lost the State Supreme Court seat to Justice Allison Riggs. Now, he says 60,000 ballots should be tossed out.
