North Carolina court race ends as Griffin concedes to Riggs

North Carolina Appeals Court Judge Jefferson Griffin (R) has conceded defeat in a contested race for a seat on the state Supreme Court, bringing an end to a saga that has lasted six months. 

Griffin’s concession to incumbent state Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs (D) came after a ruling from a federal judge for the North Carolina State Board of Elections to certify Riggs as the winner. He said he doesn’t fully agree with the ruling but will not appeal it.
