The announcement, which comes six months after the final votes were cast, ends the final unresolved contest from the 2024 election.
Republican Jefferson Griffin conceded the North Carolina Supreme Court race Wednesday to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs, bringing an end to the last unresolved contest from the 2024 election that dragged on for months after a barrage of lawsuits.
The announcement came two days after a federal judge ruled against Griffin's legal challenge to tens of thousands of ballots and ordered the North Carolina State Board of Elections to certify Riggs' 734-vote victory.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Richard Myers, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, effectively put an end to all ongoing litigation and provided Griffin with seven days to appeal. Instead, Griffin, chose to end his legal efforts six months after the final votes had been cast in November's election.
He should be disbarred for his efforts to overturn the election
