The Durham County Board of Elections will conduct an evidentiary hearing on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m. to address election protests filed in the razor-thin state Supreme Court race between Allison Riggs and Jefferson Griffin. The hearing follows a sample hand to eye recount that was scheduled for Wednesday.
The recount and hearing were being conducted as a result of a request from candidate Jefferson Griffin and are required by state law. An initial recount on Tuesday affirmed Riggs’s lead.
The Durham County Board of Elections said that these protests have been filed in multiple counties across the state.
Members of the public may attend the hearing on Thursday, at 3825 S. Roxboro St., Suite 101. Priority seating will be provided for representatives of both campaigns and interested parties, according to a release from the board.
