The Republican candidate for a state supreme court race in North Carolina has conceded the election after more than six months of contesting the results.
For months, Jefferson Griffin, currently a judge on the North Carolina court of appeals, had fought in courts to try and overturn his 734-vote loss to Allison Riggs in November. Last month, the North Carolina supreme court said that more than 1,300 voters who had successfully cast ballots had to prove their eligibility or else they would be thrown out. On Monday, a federal judge blocked that ruling and ordered state election officials to certify the election.
The prolonged legal contest has raised significant alarm among legal observers because it could lay out a playbook to try to overturn election results after voting has concluded.

Must have run out of ways to cheat
More likely, they found a way to prevent the judge from sitting at the bench.
Republicans don’t play by the rules. They don’t capitulate like this unless they have another, more effective, plan.
Honestly I must ask, is there any way to prevent this turd from returning, now that it’s been flushed?
no matter how many turds you flush, there will always be more tomorrow
If turds are fascists, then let’s keep flushing till they are gone.
There will still be more tomorrow
I think the USA is like house attached to a backed up sewer. Toilet gyser.
There was a time that this behaviour would have had him branded a sore loser and would have hurt his chances of getting voted in again. That time is passed, and the voters he’s catering to don’t care that he did this. Ultimately there are no rules that can protect a democracy from itself. So the answer to your question is no.
This is not a win unless everyone involved is charged with sedition. FULL STOP!
Oh thank the gods, that would have been awful
Republicans and denying reality… Name a more iconic duo!
