North Carolina's Supreme Court decided last week that ballots from two categories should have been left out of the tally of an unresolved November election for a seat on the court.

But there's still legal friction about the number of ballots that state courts say must be scrutinized.

Democratic Associate Justice Allison Riggs leads Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin by just 734 votes.

Riggs and her allies have asked federal judges to stop the State Board of Elections from starting its ballot review.
