WRAL News: North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, the Democratic incumbent, appears to have won her judicial race by “625 votes out of 5.5 million.” There are still some outstanding votes to be counted, but her Republican challenger has invoked his right to call for a recount. This was necessary to meet the legal deadline. Should the additional votes place him in the lead, Justice Riggs still has an opportunity to call for a recount.
