In a move that could disenfranchise even more voters in the North Carolina Supreme Court race, Jefferson Griffin asked the appeals court to expand the number of ballots needing corrections beyond the 1,675 identified by state officials and limit who can fix them.
The move comes after state election officials put the number of ballots at risk of being thrown out in the race at a significantly lower mark than previously reported.
Meanwhile Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs is continuing her fight in federal court to ensure all votes are counted. On Wednesday, Riggs and several pro-voting groups filed motions in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals seeking to block the state from starting the cure process.
Griffin is currently an Appeals Court Judge and is running for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court.
