A candidate seeking the vacant North Carolina Supreme Court seat conceded following a protracted, months-long court battle over thousands of votes in the state that were cast in the 2024 election.
A federal judge issued a ruling on Monday that ordered the North Carolina Board of Elections to certify Democratic candidate Allison Riggs as the winner of the 2024 election. On Wednesday, her opponent, Jefferson Griffin, said in a statement that he is dropping his legal case and will concede the election.
