The North Carolina State Board of Elections has released final machine recount results in the razor-thin race for a seat on the state Supreme Court. The recount shows Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs has a 734-vote lead over Republican Jefferson Griffin.
That's out of more than 5.5 million votes cast. Griffin has requested a hand recount, which the board of elections is starting today, as well as challenging the validity of around 60,000 ballots cast.
