NC Democratic Party: Justice Allison Riggs wins election to retain her seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court

[In It to Win It]

This race was called by another outlet for Justice Riggs a few days ago. However, most outlets have this race as “too close to call.” Justice Riggs is leading her Republican challenger by 625 votes and I believe a recount has been requested.

We won’t have the chance at flipping party control of the NC Supreme Court until 2028. Justice Riggs keeping her seat gives us a little wiggle room in case we lose a race. The only other Democratic justice, Anita Earls, presumably will be running to retaining her seat in 2026. Then, in 2028, three Republicans are up for reelection.
