Recounts to determine some NC election results

early two weeks after Election Day, some election results aren’t set in stone. With ongoing canvasses in several counties, and a few recounts on the horizon, it may take several days or weeks until every winner is decided.

Such was the case four years ago, when Republican Paul Newby edged out Democrat Cheri Beasley to keep his seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court by 406 votes.

After a recount, Newby was still up by 401 votes, or 0.007% of the total votes cast in the judicial race. Today, people still question the election.

But Newby and Beasley have got nothing on this year’s race for North Carolina Supreme Court.

Before the canvass, current Republican Court of Appeals Judge Jefferson Griffin was leading incumbent Democrat Supreme Court Judge Allison Riggs by a narrow margin. By the end of Friday night, Riggs had flipped the race to her favor.
