RALEIGH – Six months after Election Day, Jefferson Griffin’s attempt to overturn the 2024 NC Supreme Court race is finally over.

Today, losing candidate Jefferson Griffin conceded his defeat to Justice Allison Riggs after a federal court earlier this week rejected Griffin’s baseless attempt to throw out thousands of lawful votes.

This historic victory comes after North Carolinians across the state rallied against Griffin’s outrageous attacks, attending dozens of events, making hundreds of calls, and sending thousands of letters as part of Common Cause NC’s coalitional The People v. Griffin campaign.

“This is a victory for North Carolina voters, led by North Carolina voters,” said Bob Phillips, Executive Director of Common Cause North Carolina. “Throughout Griffin’s shameful attempt to overturn the election, the people of North Carolina proved that we will not be silent when a politician attacks the voting rights of our family members, friends, and neighbors. We’ve shown the awesome power of everyday people to protect the freedom to vote.”

We work to create open, honest and accountable government that serves the public interest; promote equal rights, opportunity and representation for all; and empower all people to make their voices heard in the political process.
