Griffin didn’t produce evidence of a single illegal vote and the votes he challenged were selectively aimed at voters in Democratic-leaning counties. Yet Newby and three other Republican justices kept the case alive and even affirmed it in part. The Riggs-Griffin race became the last undecided election in the U.S. and a national embarrassment for North Carolina.

A massive power grab could help North Carolina republicans steal an election
A new GOP majority on the state election board could overturn a state supreme court race.
Remember when lame-duck NC GOP legislature snuck a massive power grab into hurricane relief bill, giving Rs control over board of elections?
Welp, it went into effect yesterday and new GOP election board could now help Republicans steal state Supreme Court race www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
