    The challenge came after Appellate Judge Jefferson Griffin, a Republican, sought to challenge his electoral defeat, twice confirmed with recounts, to incumbent Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs in the state’s Supreme Court race. Griffin trails Riggs, a Democrat, by just 734 votes out of some 5.5 million cast. He sued the North Carolina Board of Elections in the state Supreme Court in December after it rejected his election protests, asking the court to force the board to toss out tens of thousands of ballots he alleges are invalid under state law.

    GOP: if they can’t win fairly, they cheat. Lying liars, every one of them. Even the ones with good intent are lying to themselves, like my dipshit mother who refuses to see the orange bad for what he really is.

      Exactly.

      besides infuriating, an appellate judge appealing is a pretty hilarious thing. I expect them to be pretty good at it.
