CHARLOTTE — The Federal Court of Appeals ruled on Tuesday that the fight over North Carolina’s Supreme Court race will remain in state court.
The North Carolina Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin lost to the incumbent democrat candidate Allison Riggs by 734 votes after two statewide recounts.
Griffin has challenged more than 60,000 votes over his loss.
The Federal Court of Appeals determined that the case needs to go through state court before it can be considered by the federal court. But the court does reserve the right to intervene in the future.
Wake County Superior Court will hear the case of the North Carolina race on Friday.
