In the close contest for associate justice on the Supreme Court, North Carolina election authorities are getting ready for a recount. Jefferson G. Griffin, a Republican who is only 625 votes behind Democratic opponent Allison Riggs, asked for a recount. According to a notice from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, the procedure will start today.
In North Carolina, a recount is required when the margin is less than 10,000 votes, as it was in this instance. “Recounts are a regular part of the elections process when contests are close, and they help ensure that the results are accurate and that the public can have confidence that the candidate who received the most votes wins the election,” said Karen Brinson Bell, Executive Director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections, in the same release.
To ensure fairness and openness, the recount will be conducted by nonpartisan teams and be visible to the public. The North Carolina State Board of Elections highlights that impartial oversight from both liberal and conservative viewpoints strengthens confidence in election results. The 100 counties in North Carolina will start the recount today, and it must be completed by Wednesday of the following week.
