(The Center Square) – In the nation’s last unresolved election, the fourth month of litigation began with Friday’s Wake County Superior Court decision that went against Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin.

Victory for Democrat Allison Riggs, the incumbent, in the race for state Supreme Court Seat 6 has not been given a certificate by the State Board of Elections. Riggs is poised for a 734-vote win out of 5.5 million votes cast. Griffin is yet to concede, signaling an appeal remains possible.
