Griffin said in a North Carolina GOP news release:
“As North Carolinians, we cherish our democratic process. Protecting election integrity is not just an option — it’s our duty. These protests are about one fundamental principle: ensuring every legal vote is counted.”
GOP Chief Michael Whatley added:
“The RNC and NCGOP have joined Jefferson Griffin in filing hundreds of protests over 60,000 ballots that should not have been counted in the NC Supreme Court race. Our attorneys are on the ground in-state.”

Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin is challenging 60,000 ballots cast in this month’s election. Griffin filed his challenge as county elections officials continue to recount votes in Griffin’s race against appointed incumbent Democrat Allison Riggs.
Riggs led Griffin by 625 votes out of more than 5.5 million votes counted at the end of the county canvass from the Nov. 5 election.
“As North Carolinians, we cherish our democratic process. Protecting election integrity is not just an option — it’s our duty,” Griffin said in a North Carolina Republican Party news release. “These protests are about one fundamental principle: ensuring every legal vote is counted.”
Griffin’s protests “highlight specific irregularities and discrepancies in the handling and counting of ballots, raising concerns about adherence to established election laws,” according to the Republicans’ news release. “These challenges are part of a lawful and transparent process designed to uphold voter confidence in the system.”
