The challenge of more than 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race is a threat to democracy that could serve as a model to other losing politicians who want to reverse their defeats at the ballot box, speakers at a Monday rally said.
Republican Appeals Court Judge Jefferson Griffin wants more than 60,000 votes thrown out in his effort to unseat incumbent Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs. She leads by 734 votes and has maintained the lead through two recounts.
Dawn Blagrove, executive director of Emancipate NC, called the effort to throw out votes “the canary in the coal mine.”
“If we allow them to steal this election, no election will be safe,” she said.
