Breaking News: Both Complaints Against Greene Election Refused

Both complaints appealing Sheriff Elect Jody Greene’s campaign win have been denied by the State Board of Elections.

The state board denied Calvin Norton’s appeal Dec. 8, and Herman Lewis’ appeal was made official this morning. Columbus Board of Elections Director Ashley Collins said both parties can now appeal the SBOE decision to Wake County Superior Court within ten days.

If the court refuses to hear the cases, or turns down the appeals, Greene will be issued a certificate of election by the local board Dec. 22.
