GOP Judge Jefferson Griffin's election case targets people who voted early

When and how North Carolina voters cast their ballots last year is a key to distinguishing which votes in the race for a state Supreme Court seat are in danger of being thrown out.

Republican Appeals Court Judge Jefferson Griffin is seeking to toss out more than 60,000 votes in the race. He trails Democratic incumbent Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs by 734 votes.

Most of the votes Griffin wants tossed were cast by people he argues were not legally registered because, he claims, they did not provide required ID numbers on their registration applications. Both the state Supreme Court and the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals are hearing the case at this point.

All the voters Griffin is challenging cast ballots during the early voting period or voted absentee. Those ballots can be traced to individual voters. A Griffin court brief says he believes he can win if the votes he is contesting are erased.
