With NC Supreme Court race tightening, state still has more than 15,000 mail ballots to count

The North Carolina Board of Elections on Monday said more than 15,000 mail ballots from last week’s election haven’t been counted. Those ballots could make the race for one of seven seats on the state's Supreme Court even closer.

In the Supreme Court race, Republican Jefferson Griffin led Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs by a little more than 10,000 votes on election night.

As some counties have counted mail ballots that arrived on Election Day or the day before, Griffin’s lead has shrunk to about 7,641 votes out of nearly 5.5 million cast.

The elections board said Monday there are still 15,176 mail ballots left to count, including more than 3,700 from Wake County. Of the state’s 100 counties, 87 still have mail ballots left to count.

The Wake ballots remaining will close the gap by about 1k… but Meklenburg is done and the remainder of the state probably leans red even as mail-ins.

Definitely a recount - but those don’t change things here.

We won the major statewide races… but we’re now down 6-1 on the state Supreme Court (and at 5-2 they already re-gerrymandered us)

Number of votes outstanding... how many are in our bluest remaining county.

I only added that the other big blue county had no remaining votes to count. Would it help if I multiple the percentages for Harris/Trump in that county times zero?
