Judge Jefferson Griffin, who fell about 700 votes short of winning a State Supreme Court seat in November, is seeking to disqualify as many as 65,000 people’s ballots in the election.
The ruling was a win for the Republican who narrowly lost a State Supreme Court race in November. The case has tested the boundaries of post-election litigation.
Judge Jefferson Griffin’s legal argument centers on a claim that some 65,000 people who voted early or by mail in the State Supreme Court race did not provide required proof of identity.
