Jefferson G. Griffin (born October 7, 1980) is a judge of the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
He was appointed by North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory to be a District Court Judge in Wake County in 2015.
[2] In the 2024 election, Griffin lost narrowly to incumbent Democratic justice Allison Riggs, by a margin of 734 votes out of more than 5.5 million cast.
Following three recounts indicating his loss, rather than concede, Griffin filed suit in state court, arguing that approximately 60,000 votes should be disqualified.
[3] The North Carolina state election board and a Donald Trump-appointed federal judge have rejected Griffin's claims.
