North Carolina state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin conceded his loss to Justice Alison Riggs on Wednesday, ending a lengthy fight in which he attempted to void 60,000 ballots
with allegedly incomplete registration information as well as thousands of ballots cast by military and overseas voters.
The North Carolina Alliance intervened in a lawsuit over the last several months to defend votes that were legally counted in the election. North Carolina Alliance President Bill Dworkin was also
an intervenor in the case. Griffin’s concession effectively ended the lawsuit, ensuring that the ballots Griffin contested will be counted and Riggs will be sworn in.
“This victory is a major win for voters in North Carolina. Rules are set before elections – not after – for a reason,” said Joseph Peters, Jr., Secretary-Treasurer of the Alliance. “We will continue to
fight attempts to suppress older Americans’ votes across the nation whenever and wherever we see it.”
