Jefferson Griffin, the Republican candidate in the North Carolina State Supreme Court election, is appealing a Wake County judge's decision to allow 60,000 ballots to be counted in the race.

A Wake County judge on Friday rejected election protests from Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin in his battle over 60,000 ballots.
