Jefferson Griffin voted in North Carolina elections using military absentee ballots in 2019 and 2020 .

Now, as he seeks to overturn the results of a state Supreme Court election that went against him, Griffin is asking that same court to disqualify the votes of around 5,500 people who voted in the same manner as he had.

Two of Griffin ’s absentee ballot requests came while he was deployed as a captain and judge advocate general in the North Carolina Army National Guard .

ProPublica has compiled a list of challenged ballots in the Griffin -Riggs race.

The state board of elections has repeatedly ruled that UOCAVA voters are not required to show a photo ID.

Until the election is decided in court, Riggs will continue to hold her seat.
