RALEIGH - On November 20, 2024, Jefferson Griffin, Republican candidate for North Carolina Supreme Court, filed election protests challenging the validity of more than 60,000 ballots across the state. These challenges are rooted in a steadfast commitment to ensuring that every legal vote is counted and that the final election results reflect the will of North Carolina voters.

“As North Carolinians, we cherish our democratic process. Protecting election integrity is not just an option-it’s our duty,” Griffin stated. “These protests are about one fundamental principle: ensuring every legal vote is counted.” 

The protests highlight specific irregularities and discrepancies in the handling and counting of ballots, raising concerns about adherence to established election laws. These challenges are part of a lawful and transparent process designed to uphold voter confidence in the system.

The North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) fully supports Griffin’s efforts to ensure a fair and lawful resolution to the election. The party has committed resources and legal expertise to assist in the process and emphasized that election integrity is a shared priority for all North Carolinians.

“Every voter in North Carolina deserves confidence that our elections are conducted fairly and according to the law,” said NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons. “The integrity of the ballot box is the cornerstone of our democracy. Jefferson Griffin’s commitment to this process demonstrates his dedication to upholding the rule of law and protecting the voices of lawful voters.”

Griffin’s actions are consistent with his commitment to serve all North Carolinians, regardless of political affiliation. “This is about more than one election. It’s about preserving the integrity of elections for generations to come.”

Griffin also pledged to follow it through to its rightful conclusion. Griffin and his team, with the support of the NCGOP, are committed to working with election officials and legal experts to ensure fair resolution of these challenges.
