The NC Democratic Party sues to prevent the state elections board from throwing out votes

The North Carolina Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit Friday to stop the State Board of Elections from erasing votes as Republican candidates want.

Democrats said in the lawsuit that it is unconstitutional and against federal law for the state Board of Elections to toss bundles of votes cast by categories of voters.

Republican Appeals Court Judge Jefferson Griffin is trailing incumbent Democratic Supreme Court Justice in the Supreme Court race by 734 votes out of more than 5.5 million cast. The margin remained at 734 after a first recount.

Griffin is protesting more than 60,000 ballots, including ballots cast by people who his campaign says did not include a driver’s license number or partial Social Security number on their voter registration forms; overseas voters who have never lived in North Carolina but whose parents were eligible voters in the state before they moved; and ballots from overseas and military voters who did not include photo ID.
