Raleigh, N.C. – Today, Justice Allison Riggs shared the following statement after Jefferson Griffin filed a notice to appeal his loss at the Wake Co. Superior Court. On Friday, the trial court dismissed his baseless efforts to disenfranchise 65,000 voters.
“We’ve known this would be a long fight, and I remain committed to speaking up on behalf of the voters that Jefferson Griffin is seeking to disenfranchise. As a constitutional officer, I swore an oath to defend our state and federal constitutions and the rule of law. I will continue to uphold my duty, including holding accountable any elected official who thwarts the will of voters.”
