The Republican-dominated North Carolina Supreme Court has been blocking a Democratic judge from certifying her win as her opponent continues to appeal the election results.

Democratic incumbent Justice Allison Riggs defeated her opponent, state appeals court Judge Jefferson Griffin, by 734 votes in November's election. But Griffin has yet to concede the loss.

Attorneys for Riggs and Griffin argued their cases before the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, on Monday. North Carolina news outlet The Assembly reported that the four-judge panel appeared likely to send the case back to state court.

"What we are witnessing in North Carolina is nothing less than a blatant attempt to overturn a free and fair election," Democratic State Rep. Deborah Boss said at a news conference Monday.

shenanigans are par for NC State politics. It's amazing the present resident doesn't have some of these fellows on speed dial. They are old hands at stealing, lying and turning government against the people.
