North Carolina's state Supreme Court race may leave apparent winner in unusual position.

In November , the incumbent, Allison Riggs , a Democrat , appeared to barely eke out a victory over her challenger, Jefferson Griffin .

After two recounts, the North Carolina election board tally has Riggs winning by 734 votes.

Griffin challenged the outcome in court, seeking to invalidate more than 60,000 mail-in and early in-person votes.

The dispute has bounced between state and federal courts, with a federal appeals court to hear the case Monday .
