The final counts by counties are about over and a Democratic incumbent on North Carolina’s Supreme Court has an ever-slight lead over a Republican challenger. Associate Justice Allison Riggs had trailed on election night by roughly 10,000 votes to Jefferson Griffin.
RALEIGH, N.C. — A Democratic incumbent on North Carolina ’s Supreme Court held an extremely small lead over her Republican challenger as the last counties worked to complete on Monday their official tallies from the Nov. 5 election.
About 10 counties — including those where the cities of Winston-Salem and Fayetteville are located — didn’t complete their work Friday and most met again on Monday. With a few counties yet to close out their canvass Monday night, Riggs’ lead was fewer than 70 votes. Three other General Assembly districts that The Associated Press has not called were heading to recounts, according to statements made by the trailing candidate in each race or by a spokesperson. Two are in the Senate and one is in the House.
