The North Carolina State Board of Elections on Wednesday rejected election protests from Republican Court of Appeals Judge Jefferson Griffin, upholding what appears to be a win for Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs.

By a 3-2 margin, the Democratic members concluded that Griffin’s protests couldn’t be considered, in part, because of insufficient notices sent out to voters.
