Republican NC judge "won't participate" at the Appeals Court in his election case issues

[RandySF]

Appeals Court Judge Jefferson Griffin said Tuesday that he will not participate in his case against the state Board of Elections as it reaches the tribunal on which he sits.

Griffin, a Republican, is suing the state Board claiming it allowed more than 60,000 illegal votes to be counted. Griffin wants those votes thrown out in his attempt to win a state Supreme Court seat held by incumbent Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs. She led by 734 votes after all ballots were counted, and held on to the lead after two recounts.

Griffin lost in trial court last week. A Superior Court judge said the elections board did nothing wrong.

After Griffin’s lawyers sent notice that he would take the case to the Court of Appeals, Democrats called on Griffin to recuse himself.
