Democrats are sounding the alarm over Republican efforts to overturn a key loss in North Carolina's close Supreme Court race, decrying state Appellate Court Judge Jefferson Griffin's legal challenge that seeks to have the state Board of Elections throw out enough votes to put him ahead.

"Our country is known as a beacon of democracy and Judge Jefferson Griffin, in our state, is on the front lines of dismantling that creed," North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton told reporters Monday.
